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.

[0019] In the existing technology, when sorting plate-shaped workpieces using mechatronic sorting equipment, an additional flipping mechanism is required to flip the workpieces and then visual images are collected from the top and bottom surfaces of the plate-shaped workpieces. This results in low sorting efficiency and increases the complexity and cost of the sorting equipment.

[0020] In view of this, the present invention provides an electromechanical integrated automatic workpiece sorting device. Through the cooperation of a first base, a glass plate, a fixed frame, a vision recognition camera, a vision recognition controller, a supplementary light, a linear motor, a moving seat, a first push plate, a servo stepper motor, a first conveyor belt, and a second conveyor belt, the device improves sorting accuracy and automation by placing a glass plate at the vision recognition detection position and placing vision recognition cameras and supplementary lights above and below the vision recognition detection position. By orderly moving the workpieces from the first conveyor belt to the vision recognition detection position, the device improves sorting accuracy and automation. Utilizing the transparency of the glass plate, images of the top and bottom surfaces of the plate-shaped workpiece can be simultaneously acquired and analyzed without moving the workpiece out of the vision detection position. This eliminates the need for an additional flipping mechanism to flip the workpiece, improving sorting efficiency and reducing the complexity and cost of the equipment.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.

[0022] Depend on Figure 1-6 It is known that an electromechanical integrated automatic workpiece sorting device includes a first base 1, a glass plate 2 fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the first base 1, a fixed frame 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the first base 1, a visual recognition camera 4 set above and below the glass plate 2 on the fixed frame 3, a visual recognition controller 5 set on the upper side of the first base 1, and supplementary lights 6 set on both sides of the visual recognition camera 4 on the fixed frame 3. The visual recognition camera 4 and the supplementary lights 6 are electrically connected to the visual recognition controller 5. Linear motors 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the first base 1. A movable seat 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the output end of the linear motor 7. A first push plate 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable seat 8. A servo stepper motor 10 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the movable seat 8. The output end of the servo stepper motor 10 is connected to the first push plate 9 for transmission. A first conveyor belt 11 is set on one side of the first base 1, and a second conveyor belt 12 is set on the side of the first base 1 away from the first conveyor belt 11.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the first base 1, glass plate 2, fixing frame 3, visual recognition camera 4, visual recognition controller 5, and supplementary lights 6, by setting the glass plate 2 on the top of the first base 1, after the workpiece moves to the top of the glass plate 2, the supplementary lights 6 located on the upper and lower sides of the workpiece provide multi-angle supplementary lighting to the workpiece, improving the brightness of the workpiece surface. The visual recognition camera 4 captures images of the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece and transmits the image information of the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece to the visual recognition controller 5. The visual recognition controller 5 analyzes and processes the image information according to the preset program, identifies the type, size, and defects of the workpiece, realizes visual inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece, and records the workpiece inspection. The results are transmitted to the control system of the sorting equipment, facilitating subsequent sorting of the workpieces. Through the coordination of the first base 1, linear motor 7, moving seat 8, first push plate 9, and servo stepper motor 10, the first push plate 9 can be driven to rotate by controlling the servo stepper motor 10. When it is necessary to move the workpiece to be inspected to the visual inspection position, the workpiece is moved from the first conveyor belt 11 to the top of the first base 1 on the side closest to the first conveyor belt 11. The control system of the sorting equipment automatically controls the linear motor 7 and the servo stepper motor 10 to adjust the first push plate 9 from a vertical to a horizontal position. Simultaneously, the moving seat 8 moves to the side closest to the first conveyor belt 11, and then the first push plate 9 is adjusted from a horizontal to a vertical position. At this point, the first pusher plate 9 is located on the side of the workpiece to be inspected away from the second conveyor belt 12, and the linear motor 7 is automatically controlled to move the workpiece to be inspected to the top of the glass plate 2 under the action of the moving seat 8 and the first pusher plate 9, realizing the automatic conveying of the workpiece to the visual inspection position. After the image acquisition of the workpiece is completed, the control system automatically controls the linear motor 7 to move the workpiece to the second conveyor belt 12 under the action of the moving seat 8 and the first pusher plate 9, thereby realizing the automatic removal of the workpiece from the visual inspection position. The first conveyor belt 11 is used to transport the workpiece to be inspected, and the second conveyor belt 12 is used to transport the workpiece that has completed visual inspection. The system is connected by the first base 1, the glass plate 2, the fixing frame 3, the visual recognition camera 4, and the visual recognition control. The system comprises a device 5, a supplementary light 6, a linear motor 7, a moving base 8, a first pusher plate 9, a servo stepper motor 10, a first conveyor belt 11, and a second conveyor belt 12. By placing a glass plate 2 at the visual recognition detection position and arranging visual recognition cameras 4 and supplementary lights 6 above and below this position, the system moves workpieces orderly from the first conveyor belt 11 to the visual recognition detection position, improving sorting accuracy and automation. Utilizing the transparency of the glass plate 2, images of both the top and bottom surfaces of the plate-shaped workpiece can be simultaneously acquired and analyzed without the workpiece moving out of the visual recognition detection position. This eliminates the need for an additional flipping mechanism, improving sorting efficiency and reducing equipment complexity and cost.The specific models of the visual recognition camera 4, visual recognition controller 5, supplementary light 6, linear motor 7, and servo stepper motor 10 are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements;

[0024] Furthermore, a second base 13 is provided at the bottom of both the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12. The second base 13 is fixedly connected to the first base 1. A first servo motor 14 is installed on one side of the bottom of the second base 13. The two first servo motors 14 are respectively connected to the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 for transmission. A first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15 is installed on both sides of the outer wall of the second base 13 near the end of the first base 1. A guide plate 16 is fixedly connected to the second base 13 on the side of the first conveyor belt 11 near the first base 1.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the cooperation between the first conveyor belt 11, the second conveyor belt 12, the second base 13, and the first servo motor 14, the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 are respectively installed on the inner top of the second base 13. The first servo motor 14 is driven by the drive shaft of the first conveyor belt 11 or the second conveyor belt 12 through a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt. By controlling the first servo motor 14, the drive control of the first conveyor belt 11 or the second conveyor belt 12 is realized, thereby realizing the conveying of the workpiece. The first servo motor 14 and the first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15 work together. The first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15 is installed at one end of the first conveyor belt 11 near the first base 1. When the workpiece moves to the end near the first base 1 under the action of the first conveyor belt 11, the first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15 detects the workpiece and sends a signal to the control system of the sorting equipment. After receiving the signal, the control system of the sorting equipment automatically stops the first servo motor 14, causing the workpiece to be detected to stop at the end of the first conveyor belt 11. 11. The cooperation between the second base 13, the first servo motor 14, the first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15, and the guide plate 16 enables the sorting equipment's control system to automatically control the first servo motor 14 after the visual recognition system completes the detection of the previous workpiece. This causes the first conveyor belt 11 to continue moving the workpiece to be detected and to move it to the top of the first base 1 via the guide plate 16, thus achieving automatic conveying of the workpiece to be detected. Through the cooperation between the first base 1, the first conveyor belt 11, the second base 13, the first servo motor 14, the first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15, and the guide plate 16, the first servo motor 14 is controlled to drive the first conveyor belt 11 to rotate and convey the workpiece to be detected. The first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15 detects the position of the workpiece to be detected, enabling the sorting equipment's control system to automatically control the first servo motor 14, thereby achieving automatic control of workpiece conveying. This ensures that the workpiece to be detected is conveyed in an orderly manner to the visual recognition detection position, thereby improving the accuracy of workpiece detection. The specific models of the first servo motor 14 and the first through-beam photoelectric sensor 15 are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements.

[0026] Furthermore, the second base 13 is provided with sorting guide troughs 17 at equal intervals on one side of the top of the second conveyor belt 12. The outer wall of the second base 13 is fixedly connected with servo cylinders 18 at equal intervals on the side away from the sorting guide troughs 17. The top of the second conveyor belt 12 is provided with second push plates 19 at equal intervals on the side away from the sorting guide troughs 17. The second push plates 19 are correspondingly provided with the sorting guide troughs 17. The second push plates 19 are fixedly connected with the output end of the servo cylinders 18.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the second conveyor belt 12, the second base 13, the first servo motor 14, the sorting guide trough 17, the servo cylinder 18, and the second push plate 19, the workpiece that has completed visual recognition moves to the top of the second conveyor belt 12 under the action of the first push plate 9. The visual recognition controller 5 transmits the detection result to the control system of the sorting equipment. The control system classifies the workpiece according to the preset sorting rules and controls the servo cylinder 18 at the corresponding position to extend and retract, driving the second push plate 19 to push the workpiece into the corresponding sorting guide trough 17, thereby realizing the automatic sorting of the workpiece. The specific model of the servo cylinder 18 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0028] Furthermore, a first fixing seat 20 is equidistantly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixing frame 3. The first fixing seat 20 is fixedly connected to the visual recognition camera 4 and is connected to the supplementary light 6. A second fixing seat 21 is equidistantly connected to the side of the outer wall of the fixing frame 3 away from the first fixing seat 20. The second fixing seat 21 is connected to the supplementary light 6. Fixing holes 22 are equidistantly opened on both sides of the outer wall of the fixing frame 3. Fixing knobs 23 are connected to the sides of the first fixing seat 20 and the second fixing seat 21 that are far apart from each other. The fixing knobs 23 are threadedly connected to the fixing holes 22.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the fixing frame 3, the visual recognition camera 4, the supplementary light 6, the first fixing seat 20, the fixing hole 22, and the fixing knob 23, the fixing knob 23 is screwed into the fixing hole 22 to fix the first fixing seat 20 to the fixing frame 3, so that the visual recognition camera 4 and the supplementary light 6 are stably installed on the fixing frame 3. Furthermore, by adjusting the fixing height of the first fixing seat 20, the height of the visual recognition camera 4 and the supplementary light 6 can be adjusted. Through the cooperation between the fixing frame 3, the supplementary light 6, the second fixing seat 21, the fixing hole 22, and the fixing knob 23, the fixing knob 23 is screwed into the fixing hole 22 to fix the second fixing seat 21 to the fixing frame 3, so that the supplementary light 6 on the other side is stably installed on the fixing frame 3. Furthermore, by adjusting the fixing height of the second fixing seat 21, the height of the supplementary light 6 on the other side can be adjusted.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the second through-beam photoelectric sensor 24 is used to sense the workpieces being sorted. When the workpiece enters the sorting guide trough 17, the second through-beam photoelectric sensor 24 quickly senses the presence of the workpiece and transmits the signal to the control system, so that the control system can count the sorted workpieces according to the received signal. The specific model of the second through-beam photoelectric sensor 24 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.
