Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of areca nut processing equipment, specifically to a novel automatic feeding and turning mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing areca nut production process, many stages require the spreading of cut areca nuts, such as adding brine, picking out the kernels, and packaging. The main drawback of the existing spreading mechanism is that the orientation of the cut surface is random, and manual intervention is required to turn over any areca nuts that do not meet the requirements. This increases labor costs and intensity, reduces efficiency, and also causes some contamination to the areca nuts due to hand contact during manual turning.

[0003] Therefore, in order to ensure further automation and efficient material distribution during the production of areca nuts, developing a new type of automatic material distribution and flipping mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts to automatically adjust the material distribution of the areca nuts that need to be flipped has become a direction for further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel automatic feeding and turning mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts, characterized by: including a frame, a multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism, a vision system, a turning mechanism, and a discharge chute; the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the output ends of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism are respectively provided with the turning mechanism and the discharge chute at intervals; the discharge chute is located in front of the turning mechanism; the vision system is located above the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism, and the vision system is used to identify the front and back of the areca nuts and to track the feeding; the turning mechanism is used to turn the areca nuts that are facing up from the back onto the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism to face up; the discharge chute is used to slide the areca nuts into the next work station.

[0005] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a mounting bracket, a telescopic cylinder, a mounting plate, and flipping rods. The mounting bracket is fixed on the frame, and telescopic cylinders are fixed on both sides of the mounting bracket. The output end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with flipping rods, and the flipping rods are symmetrical and do not contact each other.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting plate has a movable groove, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder extends out of the movable groove and connects to the mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the flipping rods are located on both sides of the central axis of the multi-stage vibration conveying mechanism.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) This utility model is equipped with a multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism mounted on a frame. The output ends of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism are respectively provided with a flipping mechanism and a discharge chute. The discharge chute is provided in front of the flipping mechanism. A vision system is provided above the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism. The vision system is used to identify the front and back of the areca nuts and the material flow. The flipping mechanism is used to flip the areca nuts with the back side facing up on the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism to face up. The discharge chute is used to slide the areca nuts into the next work station. This utility model controls the start and stop of the vibrator of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism through the vision system. The material flow effect is better than that of the photoelectric sensor controlling the start and stop of the vibrator. Through image acquisition and analysis calculation by the vision device, the front and back sides to be dropped into the discharge chute and whether the areca nuts are on the left or right side of the axis of the vibrating conveyor mechanism are determined.

This invention allows multiple channels to be installed on a single device and operate independently at the same time. The operation of each channel will not interfere with each other, which greatly improves the efficiency of fabric distribution and reduces production costs and labor intensity.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0011] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a novel automatic feeding and turning mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts includes a frame 1, a multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2, a vision system 3, a turning mechanism 4, a feeding chute 5, a mounting bracket 401, a telescopic cylinder 402, a mounting plate 403, and a turning rod 404.

[0012] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0013] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0014] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism 2 is provided with a flipping mechanism 4 and a feeding chute 5 at intervals. The feeding chute 5 is located in front of the flipping mechanism 4. A vision system 3 is provided above the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism 2. The vision system 3 is used to identify the front and back of the areca nuts and to feed them. The flipping mechanism 4 is used to flip the areca nuts that are facing up on the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism 2 so that they are facing up. The feeding chute 5 is used to slide the areca nuts into the next work station.

[0015] When the vision system 3 determines that the areca nut to be dropped is face up, the flipping rod 404 remains stationary. When the vision system 3 determines that the areca nut to be dropped is face down and deviates from the left side of the axis of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2, the left flipping rod 404 extends, and the dropping areca nut hits the left flipping rod 404, flipping and falling into the discharge chute 5. When the vision system 3 determines that the areca nut to be dropped is face down and deviates from the right side of the axis of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2, the right flipping rod 404 extends, and the dropping areca nut hits the right flipping rod 404, flipping and falling into the discharge chute 5. The retraction of the flipping rod 404 is controlled according to the state of the next areca nut.

[0016] The flipping mechanism 4 includes a mounting bracket 401, a telescopic cylinder 402, a mounting plate 403, and flipping rods 404. The mounting bracket 401 is fixed to the frame 1. Telescopic cylinders 402 are fixed to both sides of the mounting bracket 401. The output ends of the telescopic cylinders 402 are connected to the mounting plate 403. The mounting plate 403 has flipping rods 404, which are symmetrical and do not contact each other. The mounting plate 403 has a movable slot, and the output ends of the telescopic cylinders 402 extend out of the movable slot and connect to the mounting plate 403. The flipping rods 404 are located on both sides of the central axis of the multi-stage vibrating conveying mechanism 2.

[0017] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the cut areca nuts lifted by the self-elevating machine at the previous station fall onto the multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2, the data collected and analyzed by the vision system 3 is fed back to the automated control system, which controls the start and stop of the vibrator of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2 to transport the areca nuts forward in an orderly manner. The system also determines the front and back of each areca nut and whether it is deviating from the left or right side of the axis of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2. When the front is in the front position, the flipping mechanism 4 does not operate, and the areca nut falls directly from the end of the multi-stage vibrating conveyor 2 into the discharge chute 5, maintaining its front position as it slides into the distribution tray of the next station. When the front is determined to be in the back position, the flipping mechanism 4 extends the left or right flipping rod 404 according to the left or right deviation of the areca nut from the axis. As the areca nut falls from the end of the vibrating bucket into the discharge chute 5, it hits the corresponding flipping rod 404, flipping the areca nut to the front and falling into the discharge chute 5, maintaining its front position as it slides into the distribution tray of the next station.

[0018] After completing the flipping action, the flipping rod 404 immediately retracts. Then, depending on the orientation of the next areca nut to be dropped and its direction of deviation from the axis, it is determined whether to extend the flipping rod 404 to the left or right. This process is repeated continuously, ensuring that all the areca nuts in the cloth tray are in the correct orientation.

[0019] The accompanying drawings of this utility model illustrate the working process of one channel. When there are multiple channels, the working process is the same, and there is no mutual interference between the channels.

[0020] It should be explained that the multi-stage vibration conveying mechanism 2 and vision system 3 of this utility model are common automated intelligent devices on the market. This utility model has not made any improvements to their control principles and methods, so its control principles are not described in detail.

[0021] This invention features a simple overall structure. The vision system 3 controls the start and stop of the vibrator in the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism 2, achieving a material feeding effect superior to that controlled by photoelectric sensors. Through image acquisition and analysis by the vision device 3, the system determines the orientation of the areca nuts to fall into the discharge chute, and whether they are on the left or right side of the vibrating conveyor axis. The left or right flipping rod 404 then flips the areca nuts facing upwards on the multi-stage vibrating conveyor mechanism 2, effectively turning them face up before they fall into the discharge chute 5, significantly improving the material distribution qualification rate at the next workstation. This invention allows multiple channels to be installed on a single device and operate independently without interference, greatly improving material distribution efficiency and reducing production costs and labor intensity.

[0022] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, or improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of this utility model.
