Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal shell processing technology, and in particular to a metal shell quality inspection and sorting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the metal shell production process, when inserting metal shells, it is necessary to accurately assemble inserts of specific specifications into the preset slots inside the metal shell to meet the requirements of subsequent product assembly and functional realization. After inserting, the insert assembly accuracy and surface integrity of the metal shell directly affect the final quality of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct strict quality inspection on the metal shells after inserting and accurately separate good products from defective products.
[0003] In existing technologies, the aforementioned quality inspection and sorting processes generally rely on manual labor. Operators need to use handheld testing tools to check the assembly of metal shell inserts one by one, judge whether they are good products based on experience, and then manually classify good and defective products into different storage areas. This method is not only inefficient and difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale metal shell production, but also prone to subjective judgment differences, fatigue and other factors, resulting in unstable quality inspection accuracy and the risk of missing defective products or misjudging good products. At the same time, manual sorting also increases labor costs and is not conducive to the automation and standardization of the production process. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a metal shell quality inspection and sorting mechanism.
[0005] This utility model proposes a metal shell quality inspection and sorting mechanism, including a progressive transfer module, a CCD camera, a sorting and conveying module, and a feeding module. The progressive transfer module has several workstations and can transfer metal shells from one workstation to the next. The detection end of the CCD camera is located directly above any workstation. The sorting and conveying module is located at the output end of the progressive transfer module to receive good and defective metal shells output by the progressive transfer module and transport them to the corresponding areas. The feeding module is used to transport metal shells to the input end of the progressive transfer module.
[0006] Furthermore, the progressive transfer module includes several equally spaced load-bearing stations and a vertical linear module. The drive end of the vertical linear module is equipped with a horizontal linear module, and the drive end of the horizontal linear module is equipped with a crossbeam frame. Several transfer gripper cylinders are equally spaced on the surface of the crossbeam frame.
[0007] Furthermore, each of the transfer gripper cylinders corresponds one-to-one with a bearing station, and the distance that the horizontal linear module drives several transfer gripper cylinders to move synchronously each time is the same as the distance between adjacent bearing stations.
[0008] Furthermore, the sorting and conveying module includes a good product conveyor belt and a defective product conveyor belt to correspondingly convey the metal shells of good and defective products.
[0009] Furthermore, a switching drive cylinder is installed at the inlet of the defective product conveyor belt, and a discharge drive motor is installed at the telescopic end of the switching drive cylinder. The drive end of the discharge drive motor is connected to a hopper to receive the metal shell.
[0010] Furthermore, the feeding module includes a feeding linear module, the driving end of which is equipped with a lifting slide cylinder, and the driving end of the lifting slide cylinder is equipped with a pickup gripper cylinder.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the coordinated operation of the feeding module, the progressive transfer module, the CCD camera, and the sorting and conveying module, the quality inspection and sorting process after the metal shell insert is completed is automated, effectively replacing the traditional manual inspection and sorting method. This not only significantly improves the efficiency of metal shell quality inspection and sorting to meet the needs of mass production, but also enables precise detection of indicators such as the assembly accuracy and surface integrity of the metal shell insert through the CCD camera. This avoids quality inspection errors caused by subjective human judgment differences and fatigue, ensuring stable quality inspection accuracy. At the same time, it reduces manpower input, lowers labor costs, and promotes the automation and standardization of the metal shell production process. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model proposes a metal shell quality inspection and sorting mechanism, including a progressive transfer module 1, a CCD camera 2, a sorting and conveying module 3, and a feeding module 4. These structures work together to automate the entire process of metal shell 5 from feeding and inspection to sorting, effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of metal shell quality inspection and sorting. The specific technical solution is as follows: The progressive transfer module 1 consists of several equally spaced bearing stations 11, a vertical linear module 12, a horizontal linear module 13, a crossbeam frame 14, and several transfer gripper cylinders 15. The bearing stations 11 are used to temporarily place the metal shell 5 to be inspected or after inspection. The drive end of the vertical linear module 12 is connected to the horizontal linear module 13, enabling the horizontal linear module 13 to move vertically. The drive end of the horizontal linear module 13 is equipped with the crossbeam frame 14, which can move the crossbeam frame 14 horizontally. Several transfer gripper cylinders 15 are equally spaced on the surface of the crossbeam frame 14, and each transfer gripper cylinder 15 corresponds one-to-one with a bearing station 11. Group 13 drives several transfer gripper cylinders 15 to move synchronously a distance equal to the distance between adjacent bearing stations 11. When it is necessary to transfer the metal shell 5, the vertical linear module 13 first drives the transfer gripper cylinders 15 to descend, and the transfer gripper cylinders 15 clamp the metal shell 5 on the bearing station 11. Then, the vertical linear module 12 drives the transfer gripper cylinders 15 to rise, and the horizontal linear module 13 drives the transfer gripper cylinders 15 to move to the next bearing station 11. The vertical linear module 12 drives the transfer gripper cylinders 15 to descend, and the transfer gripper cylinders 15 release, placing the metal shell 5 on the bearing station 11, thereby realizing the progressive transfer of the metal shell 5 from one station to the next station. CCD camera 2 is mounted on a designated bracket, with its detection end positioned directly above any of the carrying stations 11 of the progressive transfer module 1. When the metal shell 5 is transferred to the carrying station 11 along with the progressive transfer module 1, CCD camera 2 is activated to capture and detect the appearance, size, and other parameters of the metal shell 5, and transmits the detection data to the background control system. The background control system analyzes and judges the detection data according to the preset pass / fail standards to determine whether the metal shell 5 is a good product or a defective product, and sends the corresponding sorting instructions to the sorting and conveying module 3. The sorting and conveying module 3 is located at the output end of the progressive transfer module 1. It is used to receive the good and defective metal shells 5 output by the progressive transfer module 1 and convey them to the corresponding areas. Specifically, it consists of a good product conveyor belt 31, a defective product conveyor belt 32, a switching drive cylinder 33, an unloading drive motor 34, and a hopper 35. The good product conveyor belt 31 and the defective product conveyor belt 32 are arranged in parallel and are used to convey good and defective metal shells 5 respectively. A switching drive cylinder 33 is installed at the inlet of the defective product conveyor belt 32. An unloading drive motor 34 is installed at the telescopic end of the switching drive cylinder 33. The drive end of the unloading drive motor 34 is connected to the hopper 35. The hopper 35 is used to receive the metal shells 5 transferred from the carrying station 11 at the output end of the progressive transfer module 1. When the background control system determines that the metal shell 5 is a good product, the switching drive cylinder 33 remains in its initial state. In the first state, the hopper 35 is positioned to dock with the good product conveyor belt 31. The progressive transfer module 1 transfers the good product metal shell 5 into the hopper 35. The unloading drive motor 34 drives the hopper 35 to rotate, pouring the good product metal shell 5 onto the good product conveyor belt 31. The good product conveyor belt 31 starts, conveying the good product metal shell 5 to the good product storage area. When the background control system determines that the metal shell 5 is a defective product, the piston rod of the switching drive cylinder 33 retracts, driving the unloading drive motor 34 and the hopper 35 to move to the position to dock with the defective product conveyor belt 32. The progressive transfer module 1 transfers the defective product metal shell 5 into the hopper 35. The unloading drive motor 34 drives the hopper 35 to rotate, pouring the defective product metal shell 5 onto the defective product conveyor belt 32. The defective product conveyor belt 32 starts, conveying the defective product metal shell 5 to the defective product storage area, thereby completing the automatic sorting of the metal shell 5. The feeding module 4 is located on one side of the input start end of the progressive transfer module 1, and is used to transport the metal shell 5 to be inspected to the input start end bearing station 11 of the progressive transfer module 1. Specifically, it consists of a feeding linear module 41, a lifting slide cylinder 42, and a pickup gripper cylinder 43. The drive end of the feeding linear module 41 is connected to the lifting slide cylinder 42, which can drive the lifting slide cylinder 42 to move horizontally to adjust the horizontal position of the picked-up metal shell 5. The drive end of the lifting slide cylinder 42 is equipped with a pickup gripper cylinder 43, which can drive the pickup gripper cylinder 43 to move vertically to adapt to the storage position of metal shells 5 at different heights. When feeding is required, the feeding linear module... 41 drives the lifting slide cylinder 42 and the picking gripper cylinder 43 to move to the storage location of the metal shell 5 to be inspected. The lifting slide cylinder 42 drives the picking gripper cylinder 43 to descend, and the picking gripper cylinder 43 clamps the metal shell 5. Then, the lifting slide cylinder 42 drives the picking gripper cylinder 43 to rise. The feeding linear module 41 then drives the lifting slide cylinder 42 and the picking gripper cylinder 43 to move above the input start bearing station 11 of the progressive transfer module 1. The lifting slide cylinder 42 drives the picking gripper cylinder 43 to descend, and the picking gripper cylinder 43 releases, placing the metal shell 5 on the bearing station 11 to complete the feeding operation. Then, the progressive transfer module 1 will carry the metal shell 5 into the subsequent inspection process.
