Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and more specifically, to a device for blowing away residue from empty discs. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, the cleaning of empty trays is a crucial step. During production, transportation, and storage, various impurities, such as dust and debris, inevitably accumulate on the surface of empty trays. If these residues are not removed promptly, they will not only affect the subsequent performance of the empty trays but may also adversely impact the quality and efficiency of the entire production process.
[0003] Currently, common cleaning methods may not be able to completely remove residues and have low cleaning efficiency. In addition, dust and other pollutants generated during the cleaning process will be released into the air if not effectively treated, causing environmental pollution and failing to meet environmental protection requirements. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an empty disk residue blowing device that can acquire images of the empty disk surface and blow away debris when it remains on the empty disk, and can also collect the debris to prevent it from continuing to spread into the environment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an empty disk residue removal device, comprising: Conveyor rack; A camera mechanism, mounted on the conveyor frame, is used to acquire images of the surface of an empty disk. A cleaning mechanism is installed in an adjustable position on the conveyor frame and starts or stops blowing gas onto the surface of the empty disk based on the image information of the empty disk surface obtained by the camera mechanism. A dust removal mechanism is provided on the conveyor frame and located on the flow path of the gas accelerated by the cleaning mechanism.
[0006] In an optional embodiment, the cleaning mechanism includes two parallel side plates fixedly disposed in the middle of the conveyor frame. A servo motor is fixed to the side surface of one of the side plates. A lead screw is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor, and the end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the two side plates. A slider is threaded onto the lead screw. A guide rod is fixed between the two side plates. The slider is movably mounted on the guide rod through a hole opened at the top. An axial flow fan is mounted on the slider, and an air nozzle is installed at the air outlet of the axial flow fan.
[0007] In an optional embodiment, the dust removal mechanism includes a fixedly installed air collection hood, a negative pressure hood fixedly installed on the upper surface of the middle part of the air collection hood, a centrifugal fan installed inside the negative pressure hood, an air duct fixedly installed on the upper part of the negative pressure hood, and a filter bag for dust storage detachably installed at the end of the air duct.
[0008] In an optional embodiment, the filter bag is detachably mounted on the end of the duct via a connector, the connector including a support ring fixedly mounted on the end of the duct, a rubber pressure limiting ring being fitted over the duct, a magnet being fixedly mounted in a groove on the upper surface of the rubber pressure limiting ring and magnetically attracted to the support ring, and the filter bag being wound and fixed around the outside of the rubber pressure limiting ring.
[0009] In an optional embodiment, the gas collection hood is a square frame structure.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the bottom plane of the gas collection hood is inclined to the upper surface of the conveyor frame.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the air nozzle has a flat air outlet structure.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the camera mechanism includes a first support frame mounted on the upper surface of the head of the conveyor frame, a first camera that shoots images vertically downwards fixed in the middle of the first support frame, and a second support frame mounted on the upper surface of the tail of the conveyor frame, a second camera that shoots images at an angle towards the middle of the conveyor frame fixed in the middle of the second support frame.
[0013] In an optional implementation, the second camera is angled toward the air outlet of the air nozzle.
[0014] In an optional implementation, multiple first cameras and / or second cameras are arranged at equal intervals.
[0015] In this application, the images captured by the camera are used to detect residues on the empty plate, which facilitates the cleaning mechanism to blow away the residues on the surface of the empty plate. This avoids blind blowing and improves the accuracy and effectiveness of cleaning, enabling more thorough removal of residues from the surface of the empty plate. The dust removal mechanism is used to filter dust in the air, so that the residues blown away by the cleaning mechanism are filtered through the dust removal mechanism, reducing the amount of dust entering the air and causing environmental pollution.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of this application provide an empty disk residue blowing device, including a conveyor frame 1 and a control box 2 mounted on the side surface of the conveyor frame 1. A camera mechanism for photographing residual materials on the surface of the empty disk is mounted on the conveyor frame 1, and the camera mechanism is electrically connected to the control box 2. A cleaning mechanism 7 for blowing and cleaning residual materials on the surface of the empty disk is mounted in the middle of the conveyor frame 1, and a dust removal mechanism 8 for air filtration is mounted at the tail of the conveyor frame 1.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the camera mechanism includes a first support 3 mounted on the upper surface of the head of the conveyor frame 1, and the first support 3 is configured in a U-shape. A first camera 4 that shoots images vertically downwards is fixed in the middle of the first support 3, and a second support 5 is mounted on the upper surface of the tail of the conveyor frame 1. A second camera 6 that shoots images at an angle towards the middle of the conveyor frame 1 is fixed in the middle of the second support 5.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 7 includes two parallel side plates 71, which are fixed to the middle of the conveyor frame 1. The fixing method is, for example, welding, snap-fitting or bolt connection.
[0026] A servo motor 72 is fixed to the side surface of one of the side plates 71. A lead screw 73 is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor 72, and the two ends of the lead screw 73 are rotatably mounted on the two side plates 71. A slider 74 is screwed onto the lead screw 73. A guide rod 75 is fixed between the two side plates 71. The slider 74 is movably mounted on the guide rod 75 through a hole opened at the top. An axial flow fan 76 is mounted on the top of the slider 74. An air nozzle 77 is mounted on the air outlet end of the axial flow fan 76. Both the servo motor 72 and the axial flow fan 76 are electrically connected to the control box 2.
[0027] In this embodiment, the camera mechanism, cleaning mechanism 7, and dust removal mechanism 8 installed on the conveyor frame 1 facilitate the camera mechanism to photograph the empty trays transported on the conveyor frame 1 after being electrically connected to the control box 2. The images captured by the camera mechanism are transmitted to the control box 2 for residue detection, which facilitates the judgment of residues on the surface of the empty trays. The cleaning mechanism 7 is used to blow away residues on the surface of the empty trays, avoiding blind blowing and improving the accuracy and effectiveness of cleaning, and can more thoroughly remove residues from the surface of the empty trays.
[0028] The dust removal mechanism 8 is used to filter dust in the air, so that the residue blown away by the cleaning mechanism 7 can be filtered through the dust removal mechanism 8, reducing the amount of dust entering the air and causing environmental pollution.
[0029] Figure 1 The middle arrow indicates the direction in which the conveyor frame 1 conveys empty trays. The camera mechanism consists of a first support frame 3, a first camera 4, a second support frame 5, and a second camera 6. The first camera 4, installed in the middle of the first support frame 3, is used to re-inspect and photograph empty trays. The second camera 6, installed in the middle of the second support frame 5, is obliquely pointed towards the middle of the conveyor frame 1 and is used to capture images of empty trays that have not been blown away for debris.
[0030] The cleaning mechanism 7 consists of side plates 71, a servo motor 72, a lead screw 73, a slider 74, a guide rod 75, an axial fan 76, and an air nozzle 77. The two parallel side plates 71 support the lead screw 73 and the guide rod 75, while the slider 74 is screwed onto the outside of the lead screw 73. The hole on the upper part of the slider 74 is movably mounted on the guide rod 75. Thus, when the servo motor 72 is powered on and the control box 2 is powered on, the output shaft of the servo motor 72 rotates the lead screw 73, thereby displacing the slider 74 and moving the axial fan 76 and the air nozzle 77. When the axial fan 76 is powered on and the control box 2 is powered on, the airflow generated by the axial fan 76 is blown out through the air nozzle 77, thereby achieving the purpose of blowing away the residue on the surface of the empty plate.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the dust removal mechanism 8 includes a gas collection hood 81 welded and fixed to the lower part of the second support 5, a negative pressure hood 82 welded to the upper surface of the middle part of the gas collection hood 81, a centrifugal fan 83 installed inside the negative pressure hood 82, a duct 84 welded to the upper part of the negative pressure hood 82, and a filter bag 85 for dust storage installed at the end of the duct 84 through a magnetic connector.
[0032] In this embodiment, a dust removal mechanism 8 is constructed, consisting of a gas collection hood 81, a negative pressure hood 82, a centrifugal fan 83, an air duct 84, and a filter bag 85. The gas collection hood 81 is welded to the lower part of the second support frame 5, while the negative pressure hood 82 is welded to the upper surface of the middle part of the gas collection hood 81. This facilitates the electrical connection of the centrifugal fan 83 installed inside the negative pressure hood 82. The centrifugal fan 83, by rotating, draws the air inside the negative pressure hood 82 into the air duct 84. The filter bag 85 is installed at the end of the air duct 84 through a connector, allowing the air inside the air duct 84 to enter the filter bag 85 and filter the dust. This ensures that the residue blown out by the cleaning mechanism 7 is filtered into the filter bag 85, avoiding environmental pollution caused by directly blowing away the residue on the surface of the empty plate.
[0033] like Figure 4As shown, by way of example, the connector includes a support ring 86 welded to the end of the duct 84, a rubber pressure limiting ring 87 sleeved on the duct 84, a magnet 88 that magnetically attracts the support ring 86 is bonded in a groove opened on the upper surface of the rubber pressure limiting ring 87, and a filter bag 85 is wrapped around the outside of the rubber pressure limiting ring 87.
[0034] In this embodiment, the connector consists of a support ring 86, a rubber pressure-limiting ring 87, and a magnet 88. The support ring 86 is welded to the end of the duct 84, and the magnet 88 is bonded to a groove on the upper surface of the rubber pressure-limiting ring 87. When the upper end of the filter bag 85 is wrapped around the outside of the rubber pressure-limiting ring 87, the rubber pressure-limiting ring 87 is magnetically fixed to the support ring 86 by the magnet 88, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the open end of the filter bag 85 by the support ring 86 and the rubber pressure-limiting ring 87.
[0035] To increase the ability of the gas collection hood 81 to collect debris and reduce air turbulence interference that prevents debris from entering the gas collection hood 81, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the gas collecting hood 81 has a rectangular frame structure, and the bottom plane of the gas collecting hood 81 forms a 30-degree angle with the upper surface of the conveyor frame 1. Of course, other angles can also be set, such as 40°, 50° or 60°, etc.
[0036] In order to acquire empty disk image information from multiple angles, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the second camera 6 is angled toward the air outlet of the air nozzle 77.
[0037] To increase the initial velocity of the gas, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the air nozzle 77 has a flat structure.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the control box 2 is equipped with a power indicator light, a detection program running indicator light, an alarm indicator light, and a disconnection alarm indicator light, and the surface of the conveyor frame 1 is also equipped with a touch display module.
[0039] For example, the control box 2 is provided with a processor. In some embodiments, the processor may be an electronic control unit (ECU, also known as a vehicle computer), a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, or other data processing chip, used to run program code stored in memory or process data, such as executing access restriction programs.
[0040] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the processor is also configured with other auxiliary components, such as memory. The memory stores control methods for the camera mechanism, cleaning mechanism 7, and dust removal mechanism 8.
[0041] The memory includes at least one type of readable storage medium, such as flash memory, hard disk, multimedia card, card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory), magnetic memory, magnetic disk, optical disk, etc. In some embodiments, the memory can be an internal storage unit, such as the hard disk of the computer device. In other embodiments, the memory can be an external storage device, such as a plug-in hard disk, a smart media card (SMC), a secure digital (SD) card, a flash card, etc. Furthermore, the memory can include both internal and external storage units of the computer device. The memory can be used not only to store application software and various types of data, but also to temporarily store data that has been output or will be output.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, multiple first cameras 4 are provided, and the first cameras 4 are arranged at equal intervals. For example, three first cameras 4 are arranged at intervals; in another embodiment, four first cameras 4 are provided; in yet another embodiment, five first cameras 4 are provided. Of course, other numbers of first cameras 4 can also be provided, such as six, seven, or eight.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, multiple second cameras 6 are provided, and the second cameras 6 are equally spaced apart. For example, three second cameras 6 are spaced apart; in another embodiment, four second cameras 6 are provided; and in yet another embodiment, five second cameras 6 are provided. Of course, other numbers of second cameras 6 can also be provided, such as six, seven, or eight.
[0044] Multiple first cameras 4 and second cameras 6 are set up to capture images of the empty disk from multiple angles, thereby enabling more accurate determination of whether there are foreign objects on the empty disk.
[0045] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art.
