Detailed Implementation

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a workpiece turntable guiding and inspection mechanism is based on a workpiece turntable 3 and a vibratory feeder system 1. The guiding and inspection mechanism 4 includes a movable slide 11, a lifting slide 20, a guiding component, and an inspection component. The movable slide 11 is horizontally arranged on the worktable 5. A movable seat 13 is mounted on the movable slide 11, and an adjusting manual wheel 14 is provided on the side of the movable seat 13. The adjusting manual wheel 14 drives the movable seat 13 to reciprocate through a slide table transmission component. A lifting slide 20 is provided on the movable seat 13. The lifting slide 20 is vertically arranged, and a first lifting seat 22 and a second lifting seat 17 are mounted on the lifting slide 20. A first manual wheel 21 and a second manual wheel 18 are respectively provided on the side of the first lifting seat 22 and the second lifting seat 17. The first manual wheel 21 and the second manual wheel 18 drive the first lifting seat 22 and the second lifting seat 17 to reciprocate along the lifting slide 20 through the slide table transmission component.

[0024] A guide assembly is provided on the first lifting seat 22, the guide assembly including a guide block 25; an inspection assembly is provided on the second lifting seat 17, the inspection assembly including a fiber optic sensor 28, the guide block 25 and the fiber optic sensor 28 are located on the workpiece turntable 3.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the workpiece turntable 3 is a DD motor turntable, and the end of the discharge channel 2 of the vibratory feeder system 1 is connected to the workpiece turntable 3. The workpiece is sent to the workpiece turntable 3 through the discharge channel 2 of the vibratory feeder system 1. The workpiece turntable 3 drives the workpiece to rotate. The workpiece passes through the detection equipment and the air-blowing unloading equipment 6 arranged around the workpiece turntable 3 in sequence. The detection equipment includes a camera lens for detecting the workpiece.

[0026] A workpiece turntable guiding and inspection mechanism includes a guide block 25 for guiding the workpiece and an optical fiber sensor 28 for counting and identifying the workpiece. Manually rotating an adjustment wheel 14 causes a sliding seat 13 to reciprocate via a slide transmission mechanism, allowing for precise adjustment of the positions of the guiding and inspection components. Manually rotating a first manual wheel 21 causes a first lifting seat 22 to reciprocate along a lifting slide 20 via a slide transmission mechanism, achieving the vertical position of the guiding component. Manually rotating a second manual wheel 18 causes a second lifting seat 17 to reciprocate along the lifting slide 20 via a slide transmission mechanism, achieving the vertical position of the inspection component. This mechanism is adaptable to workpieces of different sizes and has the functions of guiding, counting, and identifying workpieces.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guiding assembly further includes an extension plate 23 and a connecting rod 24. One end of the extension plate 23 is connected to the first lifting seat, and the other end extends to the workpiece turntable 3. The connecting rod 24 is disposed on the extension plate 23, and the guide block 25 is disposed at the end of the connecting rod 24. The guiding assembly, through the extension plate 23 and the connecting rod 24, sets the guide block 25 on the workpiece turntable 3, and the guide block 25 guides the moving workpiece. More preferably, there are two connecting rods 24, each with a guide block 25, forming a guide passage between the guide blocks to further improve the accuracy of the guiding position.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the first lifting seat 22 is located in the upper half of the lifting slide 20, and the second lifting seat 17 is located in the lower half of the lifting slide 20. The arrangement of two lifting seats on a single lifting slide 20 reduces the floor space required and lowers manufacturing costs.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the inspection assembly also includes a guide mounting arm 19, a mounting rod 26, and a sensor holder 27. The mounting arm 19 is generally L-shaped, with its upper end connected to the mounting rod 26. The mounting rod 26 is connected to the sensor holder 27, which is mounted on the workpiece turntable 3. A fiber optic sensor 28 is mounted on the sensor holder 27. Through the guide mounting arm 19, the mounting rod 26, and the sensor holder 27, the fiber optic sensor 28 can be positioned on the workpiece turntable 3.

[0030] Specifically, the fiber optic sensor 28 is used to count, identify or measure workpieces on the workpiece turntable 3, and the fiber optic sensor 28 includes an E32 series fiber optic sensor or an E3X series fiber optic amplifier.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the slide transmission component includes a gear and a rack 15. Gear and rack transmission has the advantages of simple structure, reliable transmission, and low manufacturing cost.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the movable slide 11 and the lifting slide 20 are respectively provided with scale lines and scale numbers for marking the moving distance. This is suitable for manual adjustment and improves the accuracy of the adjustment position.

[0033] A workpiece turntable guiding and inspection mechanism allows the position of the guiding component and the inspection component to be moved by rotating the manual adjustment wheel. The height of the guiding component and the inspection component can be adjusted by rotating the first manual wheel and the second manual wheel respectively. It has the functions of guiding, counting and identifying workpieces, adapts to workpieces of different sizes, occupies little space and has low manufacturing cost.

[0034] 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.
