[0039] Example
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a skeleton feeding device, including: a transmission mechanism 11, a clamping component 12, and a CCD module; wherein, the clamping component 12 is disposed on the transmission mechanism 11, and the clamping component 12 is used to grip the skeleton 13; the transmission mechanism 11 is arranged horizontally, and the clamping component 12 is driven by the transmission mechanism 11 to transfer the skeleton 13 to a preset position, which can transfer the skeleton 13 from a first position to a second position to realize material feeding. This skeleton feeding device is also equipped with a CCD module (not shown in the figure because the installation and setting of the CCD module is more flexible), the CCD module uses image recognition technology to identify the skeleton 13 and read the information on the skeleton 13; for example, identifying and reading the version, model, thickness, anti-misalignment column, and positioning information of the skeleton 13.
[0041] The skeleton feeding device works by conveying the skeleton 13 to a preset position through the transmission mechanism 11. The horizontally set CCD module identifies the thickness of the skeleton 13 and detects whether there is a skeleton 13 at the preset position. The skeleton 13 is then transported by the transmission mechanism 11. During this process, the vertically set CCD module identifies the appearance, version, and angle of the anti-misalignment column set on the skeleton 13, and then places it on the fixture 17.
[0042] Specifically...
[0043] The vibratory feeder of the skeleton feeding device feeds the skeleton 13 to the feeding fixture 17 via vibration. The clamping component 12 grasps the skeleton 13, and then the transmission mechanism 11 transfers the clamping component 12 and the skeleton 13 thereon to a preset position. If the transmission mechanism 11 transfers the skeleton 13 to the first recognition area, the first CCD module recognizes the thickness of the skeleton 13 and detects whether the skeleton 13 is present at the preset position. If the transmission mechanism 11 transfers the skeleton 13 to the second recognition area, the second CCD module recognizes the appearance of the skeleton 13 and the anti-misalignment posts (including the angle of the anti-misalignment posts) in the second recognition area. In the above image recognition technical solution, the first CCD module and the second CCD module are CCD modules. The first CCD module is usually horizontally positioned and performs recognition operations in the horizontal direction. In this case, a first lighting fixture 15 can be set in the first recognition area to provide illumination for the first CCD module. The second CCD module is usually vertically positioned and performs recognition operations in the vertical direction. In this case, a second lighting fixture 16 can be set in the second recognition area to provide illumination for the second CCD module. If the transfer mechanism 11 transfers the skeleton 13 to the first fixture for inspection, the first fixture is set as the inspection fixture 17. If the transfer mechanism 11 transfers the skeleton 13 to the second fixture, the second fixture clamps the skeleton 13 and operates the skeleton 13 to perform operations on the skeleton 13.
[0044] like Figure 1-3 In one embodiment shown, the transmission mechanism 11 is a linear module, which includes a linear guide rail 113 and a slider 112 that can slide along the linear guide rail 113. The linear drive mechanism 111 is responsible for driving the slider 112 to move smoothly on the linear guide rail 113. The specific form of the linear drive mechanism 111 can be flexibly selected, such as a ball screw, a synchronous belt drive mechanism, or a linear motor, to adapt to different application scenarios. The linear module achieves linear movement, satisfying the basic requirement of the transmission mechanism 11 to transfer the frame 13 from a first position to a second position for material loading.
[0045] like Figure 1 , 2 In one embodiment shown, a composite structure of telescopic and rotational mechanisms is employed. This design allows the clamping assembly 12 to flexibly adapt to the gripping requirements of the skeleton 13 under various complex working conditions. Specifically, the clamping assembly 12 includes a telescopic cylinder 121 connected to a slider 112, which drives the telescopic movement of the clamping assembly 12. The linear module can drive the slider 112 to move the telescopic cylinder 121 along the linear guide rail 113. A rotary cylinder 122 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 121 to realize the rotation function of the clamping assembly 12. This allows for changing the angle when gripping the skeleton 13, or adjusting the angle of the skeleton 13 after gripping it to cooperate with the CCD module for image recognition. A finger cylinder 123 is connected to the actuating end of the rotary cylinder 122, which drives the opening and closing action of the finger clamp 124 to achieve a stable gripping of the skeleton 13. The finger clamp 124 is provided with a relief groove, which cooperates with the structure of the skeleton 13 so that when the finger clamp 124 grabs the skeleton 13, the gripping part of the finger clamp 124 is engaged in the skeleton 13 to ensure that there is enough contact area, so as to prevent the skeleton 13 from falling off during transportation. In addition, the relief groove can also prevent pressure damage to other parts of the skeleton 13.
[0046] like Figure 1 , 2 In one embodiment shown, the skeleton feeding device is equipped with a first CCD module and a second CCD module. The first CCD module is horizontally positioned and is mainly used to identify the thickness of the skeleton 13 and detect the presence of the skeleton 13 at a preset position to ensure feeding accuracy. The second CCD module is vertically positioned and focuses on identifying the appearance features of the skeleton 13 and anti-misalignment columns, further improving the identification accuracy of the skeleton 13.
[0047] like Figure 1-3In one embodiment shown, the skeleton feeding device includes: a frame 14; the frame 14 is used to fix the transmission mechanism 11, ensuring the stability of the entire skeleton feeding device. Preferably, the frame 14 is a support column; the transmission mechanism 11 is fixed to the support column by a clamp 18. The clamp 18 is a detachable structure, which allows for quick adjustment of the installation position, installation height, and transmission direction of the transmission mechanism 11, such as... Figure 3 As shown. The frame 14 is designed as a support structure, which facilitates the fixing of the transmission mechanism 11 and other components (such as the fixture 17, CCD module, etc.) by the clamp 18, while providing sufficient space for expansion and upgrades.
[0048] like Figure 2 , 3 In one embodiment shown, an inclined feed plate 19 is fixedly connected to the support column to facilitate the smooth sliding of the frame 13 after operation. A material box can be installed on the side of the support column, corresponding to the lower end of the feed plate 19. The material box is used to collect the falling frame 13, ensuring a clean and orderly production site. The material boxes are categorized: the first box is used to collect OK products, and the second box is used to collect NG products.
[0049] To further improve the practicality of the skeleton feeding device, such as Figure 1-3 The skeleton loading device is also equipped with a fixture 17, which includes a first fixture and a second fixture. The first fixture serves as an inspection fixture 17, used to perform quality inspection on the skeleton 13 to ensure that the quality of the skeleton 13 meets the requirements. The second fixture is fixed to the frame 14 by a clamp 18, used to hold the skeleton 13 and perform subsequent operations, such as assembly and debugging. The fixture 17 can be configured to cooperate with the first CCD module and the second CCD module to facilitate image recognition of the skeleton 13 on the fixture 17 by the first CCD module and the second CCD module.
[0050] This utility model's skeleton feeding device, by integrating a transmission mechanism 11, a clamping component 12, and a CCD module, achieves automatic feeding, transfer, identification, and positioning of the skeleton 13, greatly improving production efficiency. The linear module design enables the transmission mechanism 11 to move the clamping component 12 stably and quickly, ensuring the skeleton 13 is accurately and promptly transferred to the preset position. The CCD module, through image recognition technology, can accurately identify information such as the thickness, appearance, and anti-misalignment columns of the skeleton 13, ensuring the quality of the skeleton 13 meets production requirements. The combined use of the first and second CCD modules enables multi-dimensional detection of the skeleton 13, improving the accuracy and reliability of identification.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
