Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of needle implantation device technology, specifically to an automated needle implantation device with a vibrating plate and image positioning. Background Technology

[0002] An automated pin insertion device is a piece of equipment used to achieve automated assembly or processing. It is typically used to automatically insert needle-like parts (such as insert pins, spring pins, positioning pins, etc.) into workpieces. This device combines a vibratory feeder system with an image positioning system to achieve efficient and precise automated operation.

[0003] However, the automated needle implantation device has poor delivery and positioning performance during use, resulting in mediocre needle implantation results. In addition, the industrial camera lacks auxiliary protective devices during actual use, which makes it easy for the industrial camera to be affected by external interference, causing a decrease in the camera's image quality and thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of positioning.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes an automated needle implantation device with a vibratory feeder and image positioning, in order to solve the problems of poor delivery and positioning effects and lack of auxiliary protective devices in existing devices.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An automated needle implantation device with a vibratory feeder and image positioning includes a base plate, a positioning mechanism on the top of the base plate, a vibratory feeder on the top of the base plate, a positioning cylinder on the vibratory feeder, a needle implantation head inside the positioning cylinder, an electric telescopic rod at one end of the needle implantation head, an industrial camera electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod, an industrial camera mounted on the surface of the positioning cylinder, and an auxiliary mechanism on the industrial camera.

[0008] Furthermore, to better assist in the protection of industrial cameras, the auxiliary mechanism includes a protective frame on the industrial camera, a miniature electric telescopic rod on one side inside the protective frame, and a shield at one end of the miniature electric telescopic rod, which is slidably connected to the inside of the protective frame.

[0009] Furthermore, to better assist industrial camera illumination, the surface of the positioning cylinder is equipped with lighting lamps, which are positioned relative to the industrial camera.

[0010] Furthermore, to further improve the stability of the electric telescopic pole, a fixing frame is connected to one end of the electric telescopic pole, and the fixing frame is connected to the surface of the positioning cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, to better prevent the accumulation of implanted needles during transport, a motor is installed inside the vibratory feeder, and an auxiliary brush is installed at one end of the motor.

[0012] Furthermore, to further improve the stability of the automated needle implantation device, multiple anti-slip pads are installed under the base plate, and multiple fixing screws are threadedly connected to the anti-slip pads and the base plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) The positioning mechanism set on the base plate can not only transport and convey the needles to improve the subsequent needle implantation effect, but also automatically position and implant the transported needles to improve work efficiency. At the same time, the auxiliary mechanism set on the positioning mechanism can not only block external interference, such as strong light, dust or other debris, to avoid these interference factors affecting the imaging quality of the industrial camera, thereby ensuring that the camera can obtain clear and accurate images, improve the accuracy and reliability of positioning, but also prevent the industrial camera from being damaged by external collisions, squeezing or other accidents during operation, reduce the maintenance cost and replacement frequency of the camera, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the automated needle implantation device.

[0015] (2) The motor and auxiliary brushes set in the vibratory feeder can effectively sort the needle-shaped parts, prevent them from accumulating, and ensure that the needle-shaped parts enter the positioning cylinder in an orderly manner, providing an accurate positioning basis for the subsequent needle implantation operation, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of needle implantation. At the same time, the lighting lamp set in the positioning cylinder ensures that the camera can clearly capture the image information of the needle-shaped parts and the workpiece, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of image positioning, enabling the needle implantation operation to be carried out accurately under different lighting conditions, and improving the needle implantation effect.

[0027] An auxiliary brush 7 is provided at one end of the motor 6 to place the accumulated implanted needles. A positioning cylinder 202 is provided on the vibratory feeder 201 to position and guide the implanted needle head 203. The implanted needle head 203 is provided inside the positioning cylinder 202 to perform implantation operations on the conveyed implanted needles. An electric telescopic rod 204 is provided at one end of the implanted needle head 203 to drive the implanted needle head 203. A fixing frame 5 is connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod 204 to improve the stability of the electric telescopic rod 204. The fixing frame 5 is connected to the surface of the positioning cylinder 202. An industrial camera 205 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 204 for positioning and improving the implantation effect. The industrial camera 205 is set on the surface of the positioning cylinder 202. An illumination lamp 4 is provided on the surface of the positioning cylinder 202 to assist the industrial camera 205 in providing auxiliary lighting and improving the positioning effect. The illumination lamp 4 is positioned relative to the industrial camera 205.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] like Figures 1-2 , Figure 4 As shown in the figure, an automated needle implantation device with a vibrating plate and image positioning according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with an auxiliary mechanism 3 on an industrial camera 205. The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a protective frame 301 on the industrial camera 205 for protecting the industrial camera 205. A miniature electric telescopic rod 302 is provided on one side inside the protective frame 301 for driving a shielding plate 303. One end of the miniature electric telescopic rod 302 is provided with a shielding plate 303 for auxiliary shielding of the protective frame 301 and the industrial camera 205. A flexible cleaning brush or cleaning cloth (not shown in the figure) is provided at the contact position between the shielding plate 303 and the industrial camera 205. The flexible cleaning brush or cleaning cloth is a detachable structure, which is convenient for the staff to replace regularly and helps to reduce damage to the lens of the industrial camera 205. The shielding plate 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the protective frame 301.

[0030] The miniature electric telescopic pole 302, lighting lamp 4, industrial camera 205, electric telescopic pole 204, motor 6, and vibratory feeder 201 are electrically connected to a controller (not shown in the figure) during actual use. The controller is a PLC (programmable logic controller) or a microcontroller. The specific working control program of the controller is written and set according to the actual situation, which is conducive to the precise control of the electrically connected electrical components. The above structure is electrically connected to an external power supply during actual use.

[0031] The mini electric telescopic pole 302, lighting lamp 4, industrial camera 205, electric telescopic pole 204, motor 6, and vibratory feeder 201 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The specific model and specifications need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0033] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, during installation, the workers will connect the base plate 1 through the anti-slip pad 8 with the fixing screw 9 to further strengthen the overall structure. After fixing, the workers will place the needles to be transported into the vibratory feeder 201 and start it. Then, the vibration of the vibratory feeder 201 will transport the needle-shaped parts to the inlet of the positioning cylinder 202 in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, the motor 6 drives the auxiliary brush 7 to rotate inside the vibratory feeder 201 to comb the needle-shaped parts, prevent accumulation and jamming, and ensure that the parts continuously enter the positioning cylinder 202.

[0034] During transport, the miniature electric telescopic rod 302 drives the baffle plate 303 to slide along the protective frame 301. The baffle plate 303 retracts, exposing the lens of the industrial camera 205. The industrial camera 205 acquires images of the needle head 203 and needle-like parts inside the positioning cylinder 202. The lighting lamp 4 on the surface of the positioning cylinder 202 provides an auxiliary light source to ensure image clarity and enhance positioning accuracy in low light environments.

[0035] After the industrial camera 205 acquires an image, it analyzes the position of the needle-shaped part through the controller and sends a command to the electric telescopic rod 204. The electric telescopic rod 204, supported by the fixed frame 5, pushes the needle head 203 to accurately implant the needle-shaped part into the target workpiece.

[0036] When the conveying is finished, the miniature electric telescopic rod 302 installed inside the protective frame 301 drives the shield 303 to slide along the protective frame 301. The shield 303 extends to cover the lens, and the flexible cleaning brush / cloth (not shown in the figure) on the inner side of the shield 303 cleans the lens surface simultaneously.
