An adjustable visual recognition device for industrial sorting robots

Abstract

This utility model discloses an adjustable visual recognition device for industrial sorting robots, specifically relating to the technical field of visual recognition devices for sorting robots. It includes a mounting ring and a protruding ring fixedly mounted on its top. The protruding ring has slots arranged in a circular array. An adjusting component is rotatably mounted on the protruding ring, and a movable lever on the adjusting component is movably mounted within the slots. A visual camera is mounted on the adjusting component. The visual recognition device for sorting robots provided by this utility model uses the tilting of the visual camera's shooting end to capture and recognize the objects to be sorted.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an adjustable industrial sorting robot visual recognition device includes a mounting ring 1 and a protruding ring 11 fixedly mounted on its top. The protruding ring 11 has slots 12 arranged in a circular array. An adjusting member 2 is rotatably mounted on the protruding ring 11, and a movable locking rod 42 on the adjusting member 2 is movably mounted within the slots 12. A visual camera 33 is mounted on the adjusting member 2. By mounting and fixing the mounting ring 1 and tilting the shooting end of the visual camera 33 towards the object to be sorted for shooting and recognition, when the angle of the visual camera 33 needs to be adjusted, the locking rod 42 is driven to disengage from the slots 12. At this time, the mounting ring 1 and the adjusting member 2 are unlocked, making it easier to rotate the adjusting member 2 to adjust the shooting angle of the visual camera 33. The locking rod 42 is then driven back into the slots 12 to lock the angle of the visual camera 33, thus allowing for quick adjustment and fixation of the shooting angle of the visual camera 33.

[0026] As a further technical solution provided by this utility model, the adjusting member 2 is hinged with a swing member 32, and the visual camera 33 is fixedly installed on the swing member 32.

[0027] Specifically, the visual camera 33 is fixedly mounted on the swing member 32 with screws, and the shooting angle of the visual camera 33 is further adjusted by swinging the swing member 32, thereby improving the adjustable range of the visual camera 33.

[0028] Furthermore, a missing gear 3 is fixedly installed on the swing member 32, and a locking rod 5 slidably disposed on the adjusting member 2 is movably disposed within the tooth opening of the missing gear 3.

[0029] Specifically, by inserting the locking rod 5 into the toothed opening of the missing gear 3, the swinging member 32 is locked so that the shooting angle of the visual camera 33 is fixed.

[0030] Furthermore, a first spring 51 is fixedly installed between the locking rod 5 and the adjusting component 2, and a second spring 43 is fixedly installed between the locking rod 42 and the adjusting component 2.

[0031] Specifically, the locking rod 5 is kept locked to the missing gear 3 by pushing the locking rod 5 with the first spring 51, and the locking rod 42 is kept inserted in the slot 12 by pushing the second spring 43 to continuously lock the mounting ring 1 and the adjusting member 2.

[0032] Furthermore, a swing rod 4 is hinged to the adjusting member 2, and the bottom of the swing rod 4 is movably disposed in the through groove 52 opened on the locking rod 5.

[0033] Specifically, by moving the upper part of the swing lever 4 close to the missing gear 3, the lower part of the swing lever 4 swings and moves the locking lever 5 away from the teeth on the missing gear 3, at which point the shooting angle of the visual camera 33 can be adjusted.

[0034] Furthermore, the adjusting component 2 is rotatably provided with a directional shaft 44, and the pulling component 41, which is fixedly installed between the swing rod 4 and the locking rod 42, is movably provided on the directional shaft 44.

[0035] Specifically, by moving the upper part of the swing lever 4 away from the missing gear 3, the lower part of the swing lever 4 swings and, in conjunction with the pulling member 41, pulls the locking rod 42 upward. At this time, the locking rod 42 disengages from the locking groove 12, and the mounting ring 1 and the adjusting member 2 are unlocked.

[0036] Furthermore, an extension plate 13 is symmetrically fixedly mounted on the mounting ring 1, and the extension plate 13 is provided with mounting holes 14.

[0037] Specifically, the extension plate 13 and the mounting hole 14 are used to fix the mounting ring 1 to the fixed frame on one side of the conveyor belt for sorting items using bolts and nuts.

[0038] Furthermore, the tensioning component 41 is a steel wire rope.

[0039] Furthermore, extension plate 13 is made of stainless steel.

[0040] Furthermore, an extension rod 31 is fixedly installed on the missing gear 3.

[0041] Specifically, by using the extension rod 31, the shooting angle of the visual camera 33 can be adjusted by moving the extension rod 31 when the missing gear 3 is unlocked.

[0042] Working principle: By fixing the mounting ring 1 on the path of the conveying object and making the shooting end of the vision camera 33 face the object for identification and sorting, when it is necessary to adjust the shooting angle of the vision camera 33, the upper part of the swing rod 4 is moved away from the missing gear 3, so that the lower part of the swing rod 4 swings and cooperates with the pulling member 41 to pull the locking rod 42 upward. At this time, the locking rod 42 is disengaged from the locking groove 12, and the mounting ring 1 and the adjusting member 2 are unlocked. By rotating the adjusting member 2 on the mounting ring 1, the left and right swing direction of the vision camera 33 can be adjusted. After releasing the swing lever 4, the second spring 43 pushes the locking lever 42. Adjustment is made to allow the locking lever 42 to re-engage in the slot 12, locking the mounting ring 1 and the adjusting component 2. For further adjustment of the visual camera 33's angle, the user touches the extension lever 31 with their thumb, while the other fingers hook the swing lever 4. This allows the user to apply force and pull the upper part of the swing lever 4 towards the missing gear 3, causing the lower part of the swing lever 4 to swing and disengage the locking lever 5 from the teeth on the missing gear 3. At this point, the shooting angle of the visual camera 33 can be adjusted. After releasing the swing lever 4 again, while maintaining support for the extension lever 31, the first spring 51 pushes the locking lever 5 to keep it locked to the missing gear 3. The angle of the visual camera 33 is now adjusted. Therefore, the visual camera 33 can be unlocked and adjusted in two directions using only one hand, greatly facilitating angle adjustment.

[0043] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
