Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging and conveying technology, specifically relating to a three-cup sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cup-shaped products (instant noodle cups) packaging equipment generally involves sorting the combined cups according to their combination before packaging, and then packaging them in the conveyor belt packaging area. This packaging method has the following problems: when one of the unqualified cups in the combined cup package is rejected, the other qualified products need to be sent out from the end of the conveyor belt and cannot be packaged. This makes it impossible to set up a circulating conveyor belt to circulate the materials. In view of this, this solution was developed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a three-cup sorting device that pushes different materials into the transfer conveyor belt through a vision recognition component.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a three-cup sorting device, comprising a first conveyor belt and a transfer conveyor belt, wherein the input end of the transfer conveyor belt is located on one side of the first conveyor belt and is connected thereto, a first pushing component is provided at the connection between the transfer conveyor belt and the first conveyor belt, and a vision recognition component is provided above one side of the input end of the first conveyor belt. The first pushing component pushes different materials into the transfer conveyor belt according to the recognition data of the materials input into the first conveyor belt by the vision recognition component.

[0005] Furthermore, the visual recognition component includes a frame and a camera, the frame opening faces and is located above the first conveyor belt, and the camera is located inside the frame with its shooting end facing downwards.

[0006] Furthermore, a plurality of spaced second pushing components are provided on one side of the rear end of the first conveyor belt at the connection between the first conveyor belt and the transfer conveyor belt. The second pushing components are used to push different materials out of the first conveyor belt.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of contact frames corresponding to the second pushing component are provided on the other side of the first conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the second pusher component is an air nozzle.

[0009] Furthermore, the first pusher component is an air nozzle.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple adjustable pressure bars and pressure strips are provided above the transfer conveyor belt. The multiple adjustable pressure bars are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor belt. A connecting block is provided below the pressure bar. The pressure strip is connected to the lower surface of the connecting block. The length trajectory of the pressure strip is adapted to the moving trajectory of the transfer conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, a photo-triggering sensor is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt, and the photo-triggering sensor and the camera are located on the same vertical section with the width direction of the conveyor belt as the vertical section direction.

[0012] Furthermore, a full-load sensor is provided on one side of the end of the first conveyor belt.

[0013] Furthermore, the output end of the transfer conveyor belt is connected to a first packaging conveyor belt.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model sets a visual recognition component in front of the first conveyor belt. Based on the recognition result of the visual recognition component, the first pushing component pushes materials of different combinations into the transfer conveyor belt. No matter how the materials on the first conveyor belt are distributed, the combined materials can be accurately pushed into the transfer conveyor belt in sequence.

[0015] 2. This solution provides a method for automatic material combination. Five materials are input onto the first conveyor belt, including three A materials, one B material, and one C material. When the five materials pass through the vision recognition component in sequence, the material type is detected and identified. When passing through the first pusher component, the first pusher component pushes one A material, one B material, and one C material into the transfer conveyor belt. The remaining two A materials move from the end of the first conveyor belt and then pass through a circulating assembly line to combine with A, B, and C materials to form five materials, which then enter the first conveyor belt again. When the vision recognition component detects that B or C material is unqualified, all five materials pass through the pusher end of the first pusher component. When passing through three second pusher components, which correspond to A, B, and C materials respectively, the latter two second pusher components remove B and C materials from the first conveyor belt. Then, the three A materials move out from the end of the first conveyor belt and pass through other pusher components on the transfer conveyor belt for other packaging methods, where the three A materials are pushed into the packaging line for the three types of materials.

[0022] Preferably, a photo trigger sensor 11 is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt 1. The photo trigger sensor 11 can be set as an infrared sensor. By setting a transmitter on one side and a receiver on the other side, the material passing by is identified by the interruption and connection of the signal. With the width direction of the conveyor belt as the vertical cross-section, the photo trigger sensor 11 and the camera 72 are located on the same vertical cross-section, which can ensure that each material is photographed individually to ensure the accuracy of identification.

[0023] Multiple second lateral frames 21, multiple adjustable pressure bars 22, and pressure strips 23 are provided above the transfer conveyor belt 2. The multiple adjustable pressure bars 22 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor belt 2. A connecting block 221 is provided below the pressure bar. Two pressure strips 23 are connected to the lower surface of the connecting block 221. The length trajectory of the pressure strips 23 is adapted to the moving trajectory of the transfer conveyor belt 2. The second lateral frames 21 are provided on one side of the transfer conveyor belt 2. The second lateral frames 21 include vertical bars and horizontal bars. The horizontal bars are provided at the upper end of the vertical bars and extend into the transfer conveyor belt 2. The horizontal bars have threaded holes.

[0024] Preferably, limiting plates 24 are formed on both sides above the transfer conveyor belt 2. The shape of the limiting plates 24 is adapted to the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor belt 2, and the distance between the two limiting plates 24 is the width of the material.

[0025] Three spaced-apart second pushing components 5 are provided on one side of the rear end of the first conveyor belt 1 at the connection between the first conveyor belt 1 and the transfer conveyor belt 2. The second pushing components 5 are used to push different materials out of the first conveyor belt 1. The second pushing components 5 are air nozzles, and the air nozzles are driven by air pumps, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. On the other side of the first conveyor belt 1, three contact frames 6 are provided, corresponding to the second pushing components 5. The three second pushing components 5 correspond to material A, material B, and material C, respectively.

[0026] Preferably, a full material sensor 25 is provided on one side of the end of the first conveyor belt 1. The full material sensor 25 can be set as an infrared sensor. A transmitter is set on one side and a receiver is set on the other side. The interruption and connection of the signal are used to identify whether the material is full. When the full material sensor 25 is triggered, the three materials will be pushed into the contact frame 6 when they pass through their corresponding second pusher component 5.

[0027] Working principle: Five materials are fed onto the first conveyor belt 1, including three A materials, one B material, and one C material. As the five materials pass sequentially through the camera 72 and the image trigger sensor 11, they are photographed and identified in turn, indicating their type and whether they are damaged. Upon passing the first pushing component 4, it pushes one A material, one B material, and one C material into the transfer conveyor belt 2. The remaining two A materials move from the end of the first conveyor belt 1 and then, through a circulating production line, combine with the A, B, and C materials to form five materials. Then, the materials enter from the input end of the first conveyor belt 1. When the visual recognition component 7 detects that material B or material C is unqualified, all five materials pass through the pushing end of the first pushing component 4. When passing through the three second pushing components 5, which correspond to materials A, B, and C respectively, the latter two second pushing components 5 will remove materials B and C from the first conveyor belt 1. Then, the three materials A move out from the end of the first conveyor belt 1 and pass through the transfer conveyor belt 2 for other packaging methods. Through other pushing components, the three materials A are pushed into the packaging line for the three types of materials.
