[0024] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic sorting and feeding device 100 for irregularly shaped parts, including a first conveyor line 10, a second conveyor line 20, a third conveyor line 30, a sorting component 40, a vision camera 50, and a control computer 60; the second conveyor line 20 and the third conveyor line 30 are respectively located on both sides of the unloading end of the first conveyor line 10, the sorting component 40 is located between the second conveyor line 20 and the third conveyor line 30 and corresponds to the unloading end of the first conveyor line 10, the vision camera 50 is mounted on the top of the first conveyor line 10, and the control computer 60 is located on the side of the second conveyor line 20. The control computer 60 is electrically connected to the sorting component 40 and the vision camera 50 respectively.
[0025] In the automatic sorting and feeding device 100 for irregularly shaped parts provided in this embodiment, when feeding two different shaped products (such as two different shaped die-cast parts), the user can continuously mix and place the two different shaped products on the first conveyor line 10 for feeding. During the feeding process of the two different shaped products on the first conveyor line 10, the two different shaped products will pass under the vision camera 50 mounted on the top of the first conveyor line 10 in sequence. The vision camera 50 will then take pictures of the products passing under it and transmit the product pictures to the control computer 60. The control computer 60 compares the photograph with a pre-stored product photograph to identify which of the two different shapes the product passing under the vision camera 50 is. The control computer 60 then controls the sorting component 40 to pick up the product on the first conveyor line 10. While the sorting component 40 is picking up the product on the first conveyor line 10, the sorting component 40 selects and classifies the product according to the control computer 60 and places it on the second conveyor line 20 or the third conveyor line 30 for further transport. Thus, this utility model has the advantages of convenient and efficient sorting and feeding, which can meet the diversified production and transportation needs of products.
[0026] In some embodiments, the first conveyor line 10 includes a first support 101, a first drive motor 102, a first drive shaft 103, a first driven shaft 104, and a first conveyor belt 105; the first drive shaft 103 is movably disposed at one top end of the first support 101, the first driven shaft 104 is movably disposed at the other top end of the first support 101, the first conveyor belt 105 is wrapped around and connected to the first drive shaft 103 and the first driven shaft 104, the first drive motor 102 is disposed on one side of the first support 101, and the output end of the first drive motor 102 is connected to the first drive shaft 103 in a transmission connection; the vision camera 50 is mounted on the top of the first conveyor belt 105.
[0027] In specific implementation: When the first conveyor line 10 is conveying products, the first drive motor 102 drives the first drive shaft 103 to rotate. When the first drive shaft 103 rotates, it drives one end of the first conveyor belt 105 to rotate, and the first driven shaft 104 supports the other end of the first conveyor belt 105. Thus, when the first conveyor belt 105 rotates, it supports the products to move forward, so that the first conveyor line 10 can effectively convey products. When the first conveyor belt 105 rotates and supports the products to move forward, each product on the first conveyor belt 105 will pass under the vision camera 50 in sequence and be photographed and identified.
[0028] In some embodiments, a mounting rod 106 is provided on the other side of the first bracket 101, and the top portion of the mounting rod 106 extends to the top of the first conveyor belt 105. The vision camera 50 is connected to the top portion of the mounting rod 106 extending to the top of the first conveyor belt 105.
[0029] In specific implementation: the vision camera 50 is connected to the top part of the mounting rod 106 extending from the top of the first conveyor belt 105, so that when the first conveyor belt 105 drives the supported products forward, each product conveyed on the first conveyor belt 105 can be photographed and identified sequentially by the vision camera 50 mounted on the top of the first conveyor belt 105.
[0030] In some embodiments, the second conveyor line 20 includes a second support 201, a second drive motor 202, a second drive shaft 203, a second driven shaft 204, and a second conveyor belt 205; the second drive shaft 203 is movably disposed at one top end of the second support 201, the second driven shaft 204 is movably disposed at the other top end of the second support 201, the second conveyor belt 205 is wrapped around and connected to the second drive shaft 203 and the second driven shaft 204, the second drive motor 202 is disposed on one side of the second support 201, and the output end of the second drive motor 202 is connected to the second drive shaft 203 in a transmission manner; the control computer 60 is disposed on the side of the second support 201.
[0031] In specific implementation: When the second conveyor line 20 conveys products, the second drive motor 202 drives the second drive shaft 203 to rotate. When the second drive shaft 203 rotates, it drives one end of the second conveyor belt 205 to rotate, and the second driven shaft 204 supports the other end of the second conveyor belt 205. Thus, as the second conveyor belt 205 rotates, it supports the products and propels them forward, enabling the second conveyor line 20 to effectively convey products. The control computer 60 is located on the side of the second bracket 201, allowing for easy installation and operation by the user.
[0032] In some embodiments, the third conveyor line 30 includes a third support 301, a third drive motor 302, a third drive shaft 303, a third driven shaft 304, and a third conveyor belt 305; the third drive shaft 303 is movably disposed at one top end of the third support 301, the third driven shaft 304 is movably disposed at the other top end of the third support 301, the third conveyor belt 305 is wrapped around and connected to the third drive shaft 303 and the third driven shaft 304, the third drive motor 302 is disposed on one side of the third support 301, and the output end of the third drive motor 302 is connected to the third drive shaft 303 in a transmission connection.
[0033] In specific implementation: When conveying products on the third conveyor line 30, the third drive motor 302 drives the third drive shaft 303 to rotate. When the third drive shaft 303 rotates, it drives the third conveyor belt 305 to rotate at one end, and the third driven shaft 304 supports the other end of the third conveyor belt 305. Thus, when the third conveyor belt 305 rotates, it supports the products to move forward, so that the third conveyor line 30 can effectively convey products.
[0034] In some embodiments, the sorting assembly 40 includes a support base 401, a motor 402, a first swing arm 403, a second swing arm 404, an electric push rod 405, and a suction member 406. The motor 402 is located on the top of the support base 401. The top output end of the motor 402 is connected to the first swing arm 403. The top of the first swing arm 403 is fixedly connected to the second swing arm 404. The top of the second swing arm 404 is provided with an electric push rod 405. The output shaft 4051 at the bottom of the electric push rod 405 passes through the second swing arm 404 and extends to the bottom end of the second swing arm 404. The output shaft 4051 at the bottom of the electric push rod 405 is connected to the suction member 406.
[0035] In specific implementation: When the sorting component 40 picks up two different shaped products from the first conveyor line 10 and sorts them for placement on the second conveyor line 20 or the third conveyor line 30, if the control computer 60 controls the sorting component 40 to pick up products from the first conveyor line 10 and place them on the second conveyor line 20, firstly, the electric push rod 405 drives the output shaft 4051 to descend, so that the output shaft 4051 drives the suction component 406 to descend and contact the products on the first conveyor line 10 for suction. Then, the electric push rod 405 drives the output shaft 4051 to rise, so that the output shaft 4051 drives the suction component 406 to suction. The product is lifted, and then the output end of the top of the motor 402 drives the first swing arm 403 to rotate to the left a distance, so that the first swing arm 403 drives the second swing arm 404 to rotate to the left a distance. When the second swing arm 404 rotates to the left a distance, the second swing arm 404 drives the suction member 406 to rotate to the left a corresponding distance, so that the suction member 406 is positioned at the top of the second conveyor line 20. Then the suction member 406 releases its grip on the product, so that the product falls onto the second conveyor line 20 and is conveyed down. Then the motor 402 drives the suction member 406 back to its position at the top of the first conveyor line 10. When the control computer 60 controls the sorting component 40 to pick up products from the first conveyor line 10 and place them on the third conveyor line 30, the electric push rod 405 first drives the output shaft 4051 to descend, so that the output shaft 4051 drives the suction component 406 to descend and contact the products on the first conveyor line 10 for suction. Then, the electric push rod 405 drives the output shaft 4051 to rise, so that the output shaft 4051 drives the suction component 406 to rise. Finally, the output end of the top of the motor 402 drives the first swing arm 40 3. Rotate to the right a certain distance so that the first swing arm 403, together with the second swing arm 404, rotates to the right a certain distance. When the second swing arm 404 rotates to the right a certain distance, the second swing arm 404, together with the suction member 406, rotates to the right a certain distance so that the suction member 406 is positioned at the top of the third conveyor line 30. Then, the suction member 406 releases its grip on the product, allowing the product to fall onto the third conveyor line 30 and be conveyed down. Then, the motor 402 drives the suction member 406 back to its position at the top of the first conveyor line 10.
[0036] In some embodiments, the suction member 406 includes a mounting bracket 4061 and a plurality of suction nozzles 4062, the plurality of suction nozzles 4062 being distributed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 4061, and each suction nozzle 4062 being connected to an air source.
[0037] In practice: Each of the multiple suction nozzles 4062 on the mounting frame 4061 is connected to an air source, which can be provided by a vacuum pump as described in existing technology. When the suction unit 406 needs to pick up a product on the first conveyor line 10, the air source provides negative pressure to the multiple suction nozzles 4062 on the mounting frame 4061, thereby cooperating to pick up the product on the first conveyor line 10. When the suction unit 406 needs to release the product, the air source removes the negative pressure from each suction nozzle 4062 on the mounting frame 4061, thereby releasing the product from the suction.
