Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of disc assembly for optical sorting machines, and specifically relates to a disc assembly structure for an optical sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the disc optical sorting machine is a high-precision sorting device based on machine vision and automation technology.

[0003] However, before installing the disc, it is necessary to confirm that the disc (usually made of stainless steel or glass), fixing bolts, washers, locating pins, and other accessories are complete. Then, tighten the fixing bolts gradually in a diagonal order. Because it is necessary to avoid deformation due to uneven force, the fixing bolts need to be tightened step by step. They cannot be tightened one at a time. Each fixing bolt needs to be tightened gradually to avoid deformation due to uneven force. This makes the installation process more complicated and time-consuming for installation and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown: The optical sorting machine includes a frame 2, a conveyor block 3, and a disc 5. A support base 20 is located on one side of the frame 2. Outside the support base 20 are the conveyor block 3 (existing technology, not shown in the figure), multiple detection modules 21 (existing technology, not shown in the figure), and multiple sorting modules 22 (existing technology, not shown in the figure). A drive device 23 is located on the inner side. The conveyor block 3 is connected to a linear vibrating track (existing technology, not shown in the figure) on the vibrating disc. The vibrating disc conveys the initially arranged parts in a straight line to the conveyor block 3, which then conveys the parts to the disc 5 for inspection and sorting. The detection modules 21 can be existing technologies. The technology involves the detection module 21 detecting the parts of the disc 5, and the screening module 22 using existing technology. The screening module 22 classifies the parts (qualified / unqualified) and sorts them into receiving boxes (scrap bins, qualified bins) based on the detection results of the detection module 21. The drive device 23 (motor, cylinder) uses a spindle 231 connected to the positioning seat 24. The top of the positioning seat 24 is provided with a locking block 25. The disc 5 passes between the positioning seat 24 and the locking block 25, thus forming a clamping shape, which helps the disc 5 to rotate. The positioning seat 24 and the locking block 25 are connected by threads, which facilitates the installation and removal of the disc 5.
[0043] like Figure 3As shown: The disc 5 has a central hole 50 in the middle, and multiple positioning holes 51 are provided on the outer periphery of the central hole 50. The positioning seat 24 has a protruding positioning nut 240 on one side and multiple protruding positioning rods 241 on the other side. The positioning rods 241 are located on the outer periphery of the positioning nut 240. However, the central hole 50 passes through the outer periphery of the positioning nut 240, and the positioning holes 51 pass through the outer periphery of the positioning rods 241. This helps the disc 5 to rotate through the positioning seat 24, which helps the parts placed on the disc 5 to be inspected and screened.
[0044] The top of the positioning seat 24 is provided with a locking block 25, and one side of the locking block 25 is provided with a protruding screw 250. However, the locking block 25 is inserted into the positioning nut 240 by the screw 250, and the bottom surface of the locking block 25 is formed with the top surface of the disc 5, which helps the disc 5 to be inserted between the positioning seat 24 and the locking block 25 to form a clamping shape.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown: The bottom surface of the locking block 25 is provided with a protruding elastic block 251, and the elastic block 251 is located on the outer side of the outer periphery of the screw 250. However, the top surface of the disc 5 is in contact with the bottom surface of the elastic block 251. Preferably, the elastic block 251 is made of elastic plastic material. Through elastic compression, the elastic block 251 increases the friction between the elastic block 251 and the disc 5, thereby improving the stability of the disc 5 after installation.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown: the bottom surface of the disc 5 is in contact with the top surface of the slide 4, and the slide 4 passes through the top of the support base 20, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface of the slide plate 4 is provided with a slide groove 40, and the support base 20 is formed into a circular shape by a combination of multiple support rods. However, the slide plate 4 adopts a structure in which the slide groove 40 and the support rod (support base 20) are connected through each other. The disc 5 also forms a clamping structure with the slide plate 4 through the locking block 25. The disc 5 is supported by the slide plate 4 and the support base 20, which reduces the pressure on the drive device 23.
[0047] The locking block 25 and the slide 4 form a clamping shape for the disc 5. However, the slide 4 is driven by the disc 5 to form a rotatable motion, preventing friction between the disc 5 and the slide 4 during rotation, which would cause instability in the rotation of the disc 5. It should be noted that the slide 4, disc 5, positioning seat 24 and locking block 25 are assembled into a single structure. However, the connection between the slide 4 and the support rod (support seat 20) can be lubricated, and the connection point needs to be kept clean to prevent the lubricant from clumping. It is necessary to ensure the stability of the rotation of the slide 4.
[0048] The through hole provided in the positioning seat 24 is connected to the main shaft 231 in the form of a keyway. However, the connection between the positioning seat 24 and the drive device 23 through the main shaft 231 helps the positioning seat 24 to achieve rotational movement, thereby enabling the slide 4 and the disc 5 to achieve selective movement.
[0049] The conveying block 3, the detection module 21 and the screening module 22 are all located on the outer side of the support base 20, and the periphery of the disc 5 is connected to the conveying block 3, the detection module 21 and the screening module 22.
[0050] The working principle of the detection module 21 is briefly described below. It should be noted that the detection module 21 can be based on existing technology. The detection module 21 includes a detection camera and a processor. The detection camera and the processor are electrically connected. Both the detection camera and the processor are mounted on the frame of the detection module 21 or on the rack 2. The detection camera uses a CCD camera to acquire images of the parts. The acquired images are then transmitted to the processor, which compares and judges the images to achieve the quality inspection and collection of the parts.
[0051] Briefly describe the working principle of the screening module 22. It should be noted that the screening module 22 can be based on existing technology. The screening module 22 includes an air gun 6 and a receiving frame (waste bin, qualified bin), or a conveyor belt. Both the receiving frame (waste bin, qualified bin) and the conveyor belt are existing structures and are not shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown, the air gun 6 is installed on the frame of the screening module 22. The air gun 6 is located above the disc 5, and the direction of the nozzle is towards the receiving box and the conveyor belt. However, multiple air guns 6 are electrically connected to the processor, which helps to send qualified and unqualified parts to the corresponding receiving box and conveyor belt through the air gun 6.
[0052] Example 2:
[0053] like Figures 3-4 As shown: One end of the drive device 23 is provided with a flange 230, which is connected to a fixing plate 200 provided at the bottom of the support base 20. Both the flange 230 and the fixing plate 200 are provided with locking holes. However, the flange 230 and the fixing plate 200 are connected by locking holes and bolts, which helps to ensure the stability of the drive device 23.
[0054] Example 3:
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown: The conveyor block 3 is located on the other side of the frame 2. The conveyor block 3 is located on the outer side of the support base 20. The conveyor block 3 is equipped with a conveyor belt 30 inside. The conveyor belt 30 is connected to multiple drive shafts 33. The drive shafts 33 pass through the inside of the conveyor block 3. One of the drive shafts 33 is connected to a motor. The conveyor belt 30 forms a cyclical movement.
[0056] The conveyor belt 30 is formed into a stepped shape by multiple drive shafts 33, however, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 30 has a stepped shape, with one side of it being horizontal to the disc 5, which helps the conveyor belt 30 to transport parts onto the surface of the disc 5.
[0057] Example 4:
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown: The top of the conveying block 3 is provided with a guide block, and the top surface of the disc 5 is connected to the guide block provided on the top of the conveying block 3. The guide block includes a first block 31 and a second block 32, and the first block 31 and the second block 32 are in a relative position. The parts conveyed by the vibrating plate through the straight vibration track will be conveyed to the relative position between the first block 31 and the second block 32, so that the parts are conveyed from the relative position between the first block 31 and the second block 32 to the surface of the disc 5.
[0059] The first piece 31 has a protruding guide rod 310 at one end. The guide rod 310 is inclined. When the part is conveyed by the conveyor belt 30, the part is guided by the direction of the guide rod 310, which helps the part to be conveyed to the surface of the disc 5.
[0060] Furthermore, both ends of the second block 32 are arc-shaped. When the part is conveyed to the surface of the disk 5 by the guide rod 310, the disk 5 rotates, which helps the part on the surface of the disk 5 to be conveyed by rotating along with the disk 5. The part touches the arc end of the second block 32 by rotating along with the disk 5, which helps the part to correct its position by rotating along with the second block 32, preventing the part from falling off.
[0061] Briefly describe the working principle:
[0062] A support seat 20 is provided on one side of the frame 2. A drive device 23 is provided inside the support seat 20. The drive device 23 is connected to the positioning seat 24 through the main shaft 231. The positioning seat 24 has a protruding positioning nut 240 and a positioning rod 241 on one side. The positioning nut 240 passes through the central hole 50 of the disc 5, and the positioning rod 241 passes through the positioning hole 51 of the disc 5. The positioning nut 240 is connected to the screw 250 of the locking block 25. The disc 5 is positioned between the positioning seat 24 and the locking block 25, which helps the disc 5 to form a clamping shape. Driven by the drive device 23, the disc 5 can rotate. The positioning seat 24 and the locking block 25 are connected by threads. With the above structure, the disc 5 assembly structure of this application reduces the steps of fixing the disc 5 with bolts, and has a structure that is easy to install and disassemble, thus saving installation and disassembly time.
[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
