Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding devices, and more specifically, to a rotary visual inspection feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of packaging cap production and coding inspection, for medium-sized packaging caps with a diameter of about 15-20cm, the coding (such as QR codes, barcodes, characters, etc.) inspection on the top and bottom sides is a key step to ensure product traceability and quality compliance. However, existing inspection and feeding devices have many shortcomings in practical applications and are difficult to meet the needs of efficient and accurate automated production.

[0003] Specifically, in traditional equipment, the loading and inspection stations are often independent, requiring manual labor or multiple handling mechanisms to transfer the packaging caps from the previous process to the inspection area. This not only increases production cycle time but also easily leads to scratches or wear on the packaging cap surface due to repeated handling, affecting product quality. Furthermore, since both the top and bottom of the packaging cap need to be coded and inspected, existing equipment often uses a split inspection structure, i.e., inspecting the top first and then flipping to inspect the bottom, or using two independent stations for separate inspections. This method is prone to inspection deviations due to inconsistent positioning references. Moreover, packaging caps often vary in diameter within a 15-20cm range, and the limiting structures of existing equipment are mostly fixed designs, unable to quickly adapt to packaging caps of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0006] The annular limiting structure has several limiting slots arranged circumferentially. The turntable structure includes an inner main structure and an annular transparent glass arranged on the outer ring of the main structure. The annular transparent glass is arranged correspondingly to the annular limiting structure. Two sets of visual inspection mechanisms are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the annular transparent glass.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting ring is provided on the main structure, the mounting ring is concentrically arranged with the main structure, and a fixing member is provided on the annular limiting structure, the fixing member being engaged with the mounting ring.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting ring is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​holes spaced circumferentially, and the fastener includes a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks corresponding to the snap-fit ​​holes and snap-fit ​​connectors disposed on the snap-fit ​​blocks and adapted to the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​block is bent, and when the snap-fit ​​connector is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole, the snap-fit ​​block presses against the upper surface of the mounting ring.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes an xy translation drive assembly, a feeding rack disposed on the xy translation drive assembly, and a negative pressure suction nozzle disposed on the feeding rack.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the negative pressure nozzles are arranged side by side, and at least two are provided.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a rotary visual inspection and feeding device, including a base 1, a rotary drive mechanism 2 disposed on the base 1, a turntable structure 3 mounted on the rotary drive mechanism 2, an annular limiting structure 6 detachably disposed on the turntable structure 3 for placing materials, and a feeding mechanism for placing materials into the annular limiting structure 6. The rotary drive mechanism 2 includes an electric rotary table.

[0021] During loading, the loading mechanism transfers the material (such as a packaging cap) onto the annular limiting structure 6. The electric rotary table drives the turntable structure 3 and the annular limiting structure 6 mounted on it to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the inner and outer sides of the packaging cap are coded and detected. After detection, qualified and unqualified products are sorted and removed by the unloading structure.

[0022] The annular limiting structure 6 has several limiting slots 7 arranged circumferentially. The turntable structure 3 includes an inner main structure 4 and an annular transparent glass 5 arranged on the outer ring of the main structure 4. The annular transparent glass 5 is correspondingly arranged with the annular limiting structure 6. Two sets of visual inspection mechanisms 15 are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the annular transparent glass 5. When the packaging cap is placed in the limiting slots 7, the visual inspection mechanisms 15 located on the upper and lower sides of the annular transparent glass 5 simultaneously inspect the upper and lower surfaces of the material through the annular transparent glass 5.

[0023] This solution integrates the feeding and inspection processes into a rotary feeding device, eliminating the need for manual or multiple handling mechanisms to transfer materials, reducing the number of material handling operations, and lowering the risk of surface scratches and coding wear. At the same time, based on this feeding device, the upper and lower sets of vision inspection mechanisms 15 work synchronously, avoiding the detection deviation caused by inconsistent positioning references in traditional separate inspection, thus improving inspection accuracy and efficiency.

[0024] The feeding mechanism includes an xy translation drive assembly 12, a feeding rack 13 mounted on the xy translation drive assembly 12, and negative pressure suction nozzles 14 mounted on the feeding rack 13. The negative pressure suction nozzles 14 are arranged side by side, and at least two are provided.

[0025] In the above scheme, the xy translation drive component 12 drives the loading rack 13 to move in the horizontal direction (x-axis and y-axis direction), so that the negative pressure suction nozzle 14 on the loading rack 13 moves to the material storage area; the negative pressure suction nozzle 14 generates negative pressure to adsorb the material, and then the xy translation drive component 12 drives the loading rack 13 to move above the limiting groove 7 of the annular limiting structure 6 again, the negative pressure suction nozzle 14 releases the negative pressure and places the material into the limiting groove 7. Since there are at least two negative pressure suction nozzles 14 arranged side by side, the adsorption stability can be guaranteed.

[0026] A mounting ring 8 is provided on the main structure 4, and the mounting ring 8 is concentrically arranged with the main structure 4. A fixing member is provided on the annular limiting structure 6, and the fixing member is snapped into the mounting ring 8. When installing the annular limiting structure 6, its fixing member is aligned with the mounting ring 8 on the main structure 4, and the two are connected and fixed by snapping, ensuring that the annular limiting structure 6 and the main structure 4 are concentric.

[0027] When it is necessary to adapt to materials of different diameters, release the fastener from the mounting ring 8, remove the current annular limiting structure 6, replace it with an annular limiting structure 6 of the corresponding specification, and then re-fasten it. The snap-fit ​​structure enables quick disassembly and installation of the annular limiting structure 6, solving the problem of the traditional device's fixed limiting structure and inability to adapt to materials of different sizes. This improves the device's compatibility with materials of different specifications and reduces equipment adjustment time.

[0028] The mounting ring 8 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​holes 9 spaced circumferentially. The fastener includes a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks 10 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​holes 9 and snap-fit ​​connectors 11 provided on the snap-fit ​​blocks 10 and adapted to the snap-fit ​​holes 9.

[0029] In the above scheme, during installation, the snap connector 11 on the snap-fit ​​block 10 is aligned with the snap-fit ​​hole 9 on the mounting ring 8 and inserted. Because the snap-fit ​​block 10 is bent, after the snap connector 11 is inserted, the snap-fit ​​block 10 will naturally press against the upper surface of the mounting ring 8 to form a stable connection. During disassembly, external force is applied to make the snap-fit ​​block 10 disengage from the pressed state, and the snap connector 11 can be pulled out to separate the annular limiting structure 6 from the main structure 4.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
