Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of filter element production equipment, and in particular to a device for filter element testing and reversal. Background Technology

[0002] The core component of a water purifier is the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge, through appropriate filter media, filters and purifies raw water, removing bacteria, calcium and magnesium ions, heavy metals, and other impurities and contaminants to ensure the quality of the output water. However, existing filter cartridge production lines primarily rely on manual operation for steps such as positioning the inner cartridge during packaging and filter cartridge testing. This incurs high labor costs and relatively low production efficiency, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art by providing a device for filter element detection and reversal. This device achieves automatic detection and reversal of filter elements through an assembly line, reducing reliance on manual labor, greatly improving work efficiency and production capacity, and reducing production costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a device for filter element testing and reversing, comprising:

[0005] frame;

[0006] A conveyor rack, which extends laterally to the bottom of the frame, is used to place and convey filter cartridges laterally to the frame.

[0007] A turnover rack includes a ramp rack located below a frame on one longitudinal side of a conveyor rack. The ramp rack extends laterally at an incline downwards. The ramp rack is used to place longitudinally extending filter elements, which can roll down its ramp. The ramp rack is provided with a gate assembly at its end for controlling the filter elements to pass through one by one.

[0008] A visual inspection mechanism is set above the conveyor frame and includes a CCD camera. The visual inspection mechanism uses the CCD camera to collect data of the filter cartridges passing below and compares and analyzes the corresponding filter cartridge data with the standard requirements to determine whether the corresponding filter cartridges are qualified.

[0009] The sorting mechanism is set on the frame and located behind the vision inspection mechanism. It is used to pick up the qualified filter elements, rotate them 90° and place them on the inclined rack of the turnover rack.

[0010] The pushing mechanism is used to push the filter element that slides down the ramp to the next process.

[0011] Further configured as follows: the conveyor frame includes a frame body and a conveyor belt disposed on the frame body. Both sides of the frame body are connected to laterally extending limiting baffles. The limiting baffles on both sides are suspended above the conveyor belt at intervals so that the two cooperate to form a sliding opening with a width adapted to the diameter of the filter element.

[0012] The frame is further configured such that a positioning slot structure is provided below the sorting mechanism and suspended above the conveyor belt and opposite to the slide opening. This positioning slot is used for the placement of filter elements to achieve positioning.

[0013] The visual inspection mechanism further includes a sensor located in front of the CCD camera. When the sensor detects a filter passing underneath it, it generates a signal to control the operation of the CCD camera.

[0014] The visual inspection mechanism is further configured such that when the sensor detects a filter passing underneath it, it generates a signal to control the lighting to operate.

[0015] The system is further configured to include an alarm light, which activates when the visual inspection agency detects that the filter element is substandard.

[0016] The sorting mechanism is further configured as follows: the sorting mechanism includes a spider hand sorter, a fixed plate connected to the spider hand sorter, a turntable rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the fixed plate, and a fixed suction cup set on the turntable for picking up filter cartridges. The fixed plate is provided with a drive motor connected to the turntable and driving the turntable to rotate.

[0017] The further configuration is as follows: the visual inspection mechanism obtains the orientation information of the filter element by acquiring filter element data through a CCD camera, and the sorting mechanism rotates 90° accordingly based on the orientation information so that the filter elements placed on the ramp are oriented in the same direction.

[0018] Further configured as follows: the gate assembly includes an upper gate assembly and a lower gate assembly, wherein the upper gate assembly includes an upper gate plate located above the ramp frame and extending into the ramp frame to block the first filter element below, and an upper retraction cylinder connected to the upper gate plate for driving the upper gate plate to control the passage or blocking of the corresponding filter element.

[0019] The lower gate assembly includes a lower gate plate located below the ramp frame and extending into the ramp frame to block the second filter element below, and a lower retraction cylinder connected to the lower gate plate to drive the movement of the lower gate plate to control the passage or blocking of the corresponding filter element.

[0020] The push mechanism is further configured such that: the push mechanism includes a receiving seat located below the ramp frame to receive the filter element that slides down from the ramp frame, and a push cylinder for pushing the filter element out of the receiving seat; the receiving seat is provided with a receiving port for receiving the filter element, and the push cylinder is arranged along the extending direction of the receiving port.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has a simple and reasonable structure. It uses a conveyor belt to transport filter elements arranged laterally. A vision inspection mechanism and a sorting mechanism are sequentially arranged along the conveyor belt's path. The vision inspection mechanism uses a CCD camera to capture the passing filter elements and compares them with standard requirements to determine whether the corresponding filter elements meet the requirements, thus achieving non-stop inspection. Simultaneously, the sorting mechanism picks up the filter elements and rotates them 90° to place them facing the same direction on a ramp. The filter elements automatically roll down the ramp and pass through one by one under the control of a gate assembly to enter a pushing mechanism. Under the action of the pushing mechanism, they enter the next process. This device achieves automatic detection, turning, and unloading of filter elements, reducing manual intervention, greatly improving production efficiency and capacity, and reducing production costs.

[0027] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.

[0028] This utility model discloses a device for filter element testing and reversing, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a frame 10, a conveyor frame 20, a turnover rack 30, a vision inspection mechanism 40, and a sorting mechanism 50. The conveyor frame 20 extends laterally below the frame 10, providing a place for the filter cartridges 80 to be placed laterally and conveying them to the frame 10. The turnover rack 30 includes a ramp 31 located below the frame 10 on the longitudinal side of the conveyor frame 20. The ramp 31 extends laterally downwards at an incline, allowing the filter cartridges 80 to be placed longitudinally and to roll down the ramp under their own weight. A gate assembly 32 is located at the end of the ramp 31 to control the filter cartridges 80 to pass through one by one from bottom to top. The vision inspection mechanism 40 is located above the conveyor frame 20 and includes a CCD. Camera 41 and vision inspection mechanism 40 collect data of the filter element 80 passing below through the CCD camera 41 and compare and analyze the corresponding filter element 80 data with the standard requirements to determine whether the corresponding filter element 80 is qualified. In this embodiment, the CCD camera 41 is fixed on the frame 10. The sorting mechanism 50 is set on the frame 10 and located behind the vision inspection mechanism 40 (relative to the conveying direction, the vision inspection mechanism 40 is in front and the sorting mechanism 50 is behind). It is used to pick up the qualified filter element 80, rotate it 90° and place it on the ramp 31 of the turnover rack 30. The pushing mechanism 60 is used to push the filter element 80 that slides down from the ramp 31 to the next process 90. In this example, it is directly pushed into the packaging box 91 on the production line.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the conveyor frame 20 includes a frame 21 and a conveyor belt 22 mounted on the frame 21. Both sides of the frame 21, corresponding to its longitudinal direction, are connected to laterally extending limiting baffles 23. These limiting baffles 23 are spaced apart and suspended above the conveyor belt 22, forming a sliding opening with a width matching the diameter of the filter element 80. The design of the sliding opening width being slightly larger than the diameter of the filter element 80 ensures that only laterally extending filter elements 80 can be inserted into the sliding opening, guaranteeing that the filter element 80 is conveyed laterally on the conveyor belt 22. This facilitates the complete acquisition of filter element 80 data by the CCD camera 41 of the vision inspection mechanism 40. Simultaneously, a structure corresponding to the sorting mechanism 50 is constructed below the frame 21 and suspended above the conveyor belt 22. The positioning slot structure 24, which is opposite to the sliding opening, is at least one block-shaped component connected to the frame 21 and having a slot or forming a slot with it. The filter element 80 is placed into the positioning slot structure 24 to achieve positioning, which facilitates the sorting mechanism 50 to pick up the filter element 80 in the positioning slot structure 24 below. Preferably, the distance between the positioning slot structure 24 and the sliding opening is less than the length of the filter element 80, which facilitates the stable and reliable placement of the filter element 80 into the positioning slot structure 24. At the same time, it is preferred that the conveyor frame 20 is provided with a first sensor for sensing whether there is a filter element 80 in the positioning slot structure 24. When the first sensor senses the valve core, it will generate a signal to control the sorting mechanism 50 to work and pick up the filter element 80.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the visual inspection mechanism 40 also includes a sensor 42 located in front of the CCD camera 41 (relative to the conveying direction). In this embodiment, the sensor 42 is fixed to the frame 21 of the conveyor frame 20 by a bracket. When the sensor 42 detects that a filter 80 passes under it, it generates a signal to control the CCD camera 41 to work, thus ensuring that the CCD camera 41 remains in effective operation. Preferably, the visual inspection mechanism 40 also includes an illumination lamp 43. In this embodiment, the illumination lamp 43 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10 and located below the CCD camera 41. The device operates under the signal control of sensor 42 to provide a bright data acquisition environment for CCD camera 41. The device will take corresponding actions based on the judgment results of vision inspection mechanism 40. Specifically, the device also includes a three-color alarm light 70. When the filter element 80 detected by vision inspection mechanism 40 is unqualified, the three-color alarm light 70 will sound an alarm and the device will stop, waiting for the operator to handle the unqualified filter element 80. In this embodiment, vision inspection mechanism 40 can also obtain the orientation information (specific orientation) of filter element 80 based on the filter element 80 data collected by CCD camera 41.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the sorting mechanism 50 includes a spider-hand sorter 51 (five-axis), a fixed plate 52 connected to the spider-hand sorter 51, a turntable 53 rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the fixed plate 52, and several fixed suction cups 54 set on the turntable 53 for picking up filter elements 80. The fixed plate 52 is equipped with a drive motor 55 connected to the turntable 53 and driving the turntable 53 to rotate. Thus, the spider-hand sorter 51 controls the lifting and displacement of the fixed suction cups 54. The fixed suction cups 54 are connected to a real pump device through pipelines and are started or stopped by the real pump device to control their adsorption or release of filter elements 80. The sorting mechanism 50 controls the drive motor 55 to rotate forward or backward by 90° according to the direction information of the vision detection mechanism 40 to ensure that the filter elements 80 placed on the ramp 31 are facing the same direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the gate assembly 32 on the ramp frame 31 of the turnover rack 30 includes an upper gate assembly and a lower gate assembly. The upper gate assembly includes an upper gate plate 322 located above the ramp frame 31 and extending into the ramp frame 31 to block the first filter element 80 below, and an upper retraction cylinder 321 connected to the upper gate plate 322 to drive the upper gate plate 322 to control the passage or block the corresponding filter element 80. The lower gate assembly includes a lower gate plate 324 located below the ramp frame 31 and extending into the ramp frame 31 to block the second filter element 80 below, and a lower retraction cylinder 323 connected to the lower gate plate 324 to drive the lower gate plate 324 to control the passage or block the corresponding filter element 80. The ramp frame 31 is correspondingly provided with an opening for the lower gate plate 324 to pass through. The retractable cylinder 321 and the lower retractable cylinder 323 can be fixedly connected to the frame 10, the frame 21 or the ramp frame 31 according to the actual situation. The distance between the upper gate plate 322 and the lower gate plate 324 is adapted to the diameter of the filter element 80. By lifting the upper gate assembly to open and closing the lower gate assembly, the first filter element 80 can slide down to the push mechanism. Then, by lowering the upper gate assembly to close and lifting the lower gate assembly to open, the subsequent filter elements 80 can fall down one body length. Finally, the lower gate assembly falls and stops between the first filter element 80 and the second filter element 80 to return to the initial state. By repeatedly controlling the upper and lower gate assemblies, the filter elements 80 on the ramp frame 31 can slide down to the push mechanism one by one in an orderly manner according to a certain rhythm.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the pushing mechanism 60 includes a receiving seat 61 located below the ramp 31 to receive the filter element 80 sliding down from the ramp 31, and a push cylinder 62 for pushing the filter element 80 out of the receiving seat 61. The receiving seat 61 is provided with a receiving port for accommodating the filter element 80. The push cylinder 62 is arranged along the extension direction of the receiving port. Thus, the push cylinder 62 can push the piston out and push it to the next process 90 production line by controlling its piston rod to extend into the receiving port. Preferably, the pushing mechanism 60 is provided with a second sensor for sensing whether there is a filter element 80 in the receiving seat 61. When the second sensor senses the valve core, it will generate a signal to control the push cylinder 62 to push the valve core.

[0034] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has a simple and reasonable structure. It uses a conveyor belt to transport filter elements arranged laterally. A vision inspection mechanism and a sorting mechanism are sequentially arranged along the conveyor belt's path. The vision inspection mechanism uses a CCD camera to capture the passing filter elements and compares them with standard requirements to determine whether the corresponding filter elements meet the requirements, thus achieving non-stop inspection. Simultaneously, the sorting mechanism picks up the filter elements and rotates them 90° to place them facing the same direction on a ramp. The filter elements automatically roll down the ramp and pass through one by one under the control of a gate assembly to enter a pushing mechanism. Under the action of the pushing mechanism, they enter the next process. This device achieves automatic detection, turning, and unloading of filter elements, reducing manual intervention, greatly improving production efficiency and capacity, and reducing production costs.

[0035] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
