Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic sorting machine technology, specifically to a visual automatic sorting machine for hardware parts. Background Technology

[0002] As an advanced automated inspection device, visual automatic sorting machines are widely used in hardware parts production lines due to their advantages such as non-contact measurement, high precision, high speed, and strong adaptability. These machines typically employ high-definition cameras combined with advanced image processing algorithms to perform comprehensive, multi-angle inspections of hardware parts. They can quickly and accurately identify non-conforming features such as dimensional errors, surface defects, and shape defects, and then separate non-conforming products from conforming products through automated sorting mechanisms, thereby achieving quality control throughout the production process.

[0003] However, in practical applications, existing automatic visual sorting machines still have some limitations in their structural design, especially in the design of the receiving box and baffles. Since the baffles are not removable or are complicated to disassemble, after the operator has completed the sorting of a batch of hardware parts, if the receiving box needs to be removed to clean out the defective products or to replace them, it often requires the use of tools and a lot of time to disassemble and reinstall the baffles. This not only increases the downtime of the production line and reduces production efficiency, but may also cause damage to the baffles or receiving boxes due to improper operation, increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic visual sorting machine for hardware parts, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. However, in practical applications, existing automatic visual sorting machines still have some limitations in structural design, especially in the design of the receiving box and baffle. Since the baffle is not removable or is complicated to disassemble, after the operator completes the sorting of a batch of hardware parts, if it is necessary to remove the receiving box to clean the defective products inside or to replace them, it is often necessary to use tools and spend a lot of time to disassemble and reinstall the baffle. This not only increases the downtime of the production line and reduces production efficiency, but may also cause damage to the baffle or receiving box due to improper operation, increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic visual sorting machine for hardware parts, comprising a base, a transparent glass rotating plate rotatably connected to the center of the top of the base, a top frame fixedly connected to the outer side of the top of the base, a support base fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the base, a box set on the top of the support base, a receiving box placed at the bottom of the box, a baffle set on one side of the top of the box, a side seat fixedly connected to the top of one side of the box, a bottom block fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the baffle, a slot formed at the center of the top of the side seat, a locking plate fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the bottom block, the bottom of the locking plate penetrating into the slot and engaging with the slot, a positioning plate fixedly connected to the side of the side seat away from the box, the top of the positioning plate penetrating into the bottom block and engaging with the bottom block, a limiting plate set on one side of the bottom block, and one side of the limiting plate penetrating the bottom block and the locking plate engaging with the locking plate.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] This automatic visual sorting machine for hardware parts uses a baffle that engages with a locking plate at the bottom of the base block and a locking groove at the top of the side seat. Simultaneously, a positioning plate penetrates into the base block for secondary locking and positioning. A limiting plate then passes through the base block and locking plate to complete the final limiting and fixing. To remove the baffle, simply pull out the limiting plate first, then lift the baffle upwards to disengage the locking plate from the locking groove and the positioning plate from the base block. Installation is done by reversing the operation. Compared to traditional baffle designs that are not removable or have complex disassembly processes, this structure allows for rapid baffle removal and reinstallation. After sorting a batch of hardware parts, operators can quickly remove and reinstall the baffle without tools, allowing for rapid removal of the receiving box to clean out defective products. The replacement significantly reduces production line downtime, effectively improves production efficiency, and reduces increased production costs caused by prolonged downtime. The baffle and receiving box are independent structures with no complex connection between them. The baffle is connected to the side seat through a snap-fit, positioning, and limiting structure, while the receiving box is placed only at the bottom of the box. In actual operation, because the baffle and receiving box are separate, operators will not interfere with each other when disassembling the baffle or removing the receiving box, avoiding damage to the baffle or receiving box due to improper operation, reducing equipment maintenance costs. At the same time, this independent design also makes the maintenance and replacement of various parts of the equipment more convenient, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

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.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic visual sorting machine for hardware parts, including a base 1, a transparent glass rotating plate 3 rotatably connected to the center of the top of the base 1, a top frame 2 fixedly connected to the outer side of the top of the base 1, a support base 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the base 1, a box 8 set on the top of the support base 7, a receiving box 10 placed at the bottom inside the box 8, a baffle 9 set on one side of the top of the box 8, a side seat 11 fixedly connected to the top of one side of the box 8, and a side seat 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the baffle 9. A base block 12 is fixedly connected to the side seat 11. A slot 13 is opened in the center of the top of the side seat 11. A card plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the base block 12. The bottom of the card plate 14 extends through the inside of the slot 13 and engages with the slot 13. A positioning plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the side seat 11 away from the housing 8. The top of the positioning plate 15 extends through the inside of the base block 12 and engages with the base block 12. A limit plate 16 is provided on one side of the base block 12. One side of the limit plate 16 extends through the base block 12 and the card plate 14 in sequence and engages with the card plate 14.

[0015] Five camera detection devices 4 are fixedly installed in a ring on the outer side of the bottom of the top frame 2. A cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the top frame 2. The output end of the bottom of the cylinder 5 extends through to the bottom of the top frame 2 and extends to one side above the transparent glass rotating plate 3. The output end of the bottom of the cylinder 5 is connected to a jet head 6.

[0016] A pull rod 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the baffle 9 near the top.

[0017] An arc-shaped feed plate 25 is fixedly connected to the corner of the baffle 9.

[0018] A connecting plate 19 is slidably connected to the center of one side of the top of the support base 7. A movable plate 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the connecting plate 19. A cylinder 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one side of the base 1. A fixed plate 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of one side of the cylinder 23. The top of the fixed plate 24 extends through the interior of the support base 7 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 18.

[0019] A movable groove 20 is provided at the center of one side of the movable plate 18. A movable block 22 is slidably connected to one side of the movable groove 20. A support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the movable block 22. One side of the support rod 21 extends through to the outside of the movable plate 18 and is fixedly connected to the support base 7.

[0020] Working principle: After screening a batch of hardware parts, the receiving box 10 needs to be removed to clean out or replace defective products. At this time, cylinder 23 is activated, and the output end of one side of cylinder 23 pushes the fixed plate 24 outward. Since the top of the fixed plate 24 penetrates into the support base 7 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate 18, the moving plate 18 will slide together with the fixed plate 24 in the center of the top side of the support base 7. During the movement of the moving plate 18, the moving block 22 slides in the moving groove 20 in the center of one side of the moving plate 18. At the same time, the moving block 22 is fixedly connected to the support base 7 through the support rod 21, ensuring the stability of the movement of the moving plate 18. The moving plate 18 drives the box 8 to move outward through the connecting plate 19, thereby removing the receiving box 10 placed at the bottom of the box 8 from the equipment, making it convenient for operators to carry out subsequent operations. After the receiving box 10 is removed from the equipment, the baffle 9 needs to be removed for further cleaning or maintenance. First, the operator holds the pull rod 17 fixedly installed on one side of the baffle 9 near the top. Then, the limiting plate 16 is pulled out from the bottom block 12 and the locking plate 14 to release the limiting effect of the limiting plate 16 on the locking plate 14. Next, the pull rod 17 is lifted upward to move the baffle 9 upward, so that the locking plate 14 at the bottom of the bottom block 12 is disengaged from the locking groove 13 at the top center of the side seat 11. At the same time, the positioning plate 15 fixedly connected to the side of the side seat 11 away from the box 8 is disengaged from the bottom block 12, thus completing the disassembly of the baffle 9.

[0021] In summary, this automatic visual sorting machine for hardware parts uses a baffle 9 that engages with the slot 13 at the top of the side seat 11 via a locking plate 14 at the bottom of the base block 12. Simultaneously, a positioning plate 15 penetrates into the base block 12 for secondary engagement and positioning. A limiting plate 16 sequentially penetrates the base block 12 and the locking plate 14 to achieve final positioning and fixation. When the baffle 9 needs to be disassembled, simply pull out the limiting plate 16 first, then lift the baffle 9 upwards to disengage the locking plate 14 from the slot 13 and the positioning plate 15 from the base block 12. Installation is completed quickly by reversing the operation. Compared to traditional baffle 9 designs that are either non-removable or complex to disassemble, this structure enables rapid disassembly and reassembly of the baffle 9. After sorting a batch of hardware parts, operators can disassemble and reinstall the baffle 9 quickly without tools, allowing for rapid material removal. The cleaning or replacement of defective products inside box 10 greatly shortens the downtime of the production line, effectively improves production efficiency, and reduces the increase in production costs caused by long downtime. The baffle 9 and the receiving box 10 are independent structures, and there is no complicated connection between them. The baffle 9 is connected to the side seat 11 through a snap-fit, positioning, and limiting structure, while the receiving box 10 is only placed at the bottom inside the box body 8. In actual operation, since the baffle 9 and the receiving box 10 are separate, the operators will not interfere with each other when disassembling the baffle 9 or taking out the receiving box 10, avoiding damage to the baffle 9 or the receiving box 10 due to improper operation, reducing equipment maintenance costs. At the same time, this independent design also makes the maintenance and replacement of various parts of the equipment more convenient, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.
