Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card tray production technology, and in particular to an integrated automatic device for detecting the color and size of card trays. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of smartphones, the SIM card tray, as a key component housing the SIM card and memory card, directly impacts the phone's appearance and performance. Existing SIM card trays are typically made of plastic or metal, and consistency in size and color is crucial for product compatibility and aesthetic quality. Therefore, the inspection step is an indispensable and critical process in the production of SIM card trays.

[0003] The existing mobile phone SIM card tray inspection process mainly includes two stages: color inspection and size inspection. Color inspection typically uses specialized color inspection equipment. Operators manually inspect and compare the color of each SIM card tray one by one to ensure the consistency of the tray's appearance. Size inspection uses a height / bin measuring device to measure the dimensions of the SIM card tray. Operators need to manually place the SIM card tray onto the measuring device for inspection and record the relevant data to ensure that the SIM card tray meets design standards.

[0004] However, this detection method has some shortcomings in practical applications. First, because the detection process requires transferring the card tray to different detection devices, and each detection step requires manual operation, the entire detection process is cumbersome and prone to errors. Not only is the detection efficiency low, but the stability and consistency of the detection results cannot be guaranteed.

[0005] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides an integrated automatic device for detecting the color and size of card trays, aiming to solve the problems of cumbersome operation, unstable detection results and low efficiency in the existing card tray detection process.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An integrated automated device for color and size detection of card trays includes a frame. One end of the frame has a loading station for placing card trays to be detected, and the other end has a unloading station for placing detected card trays. A conveying system connects the loading and unloading stations. The conveying system includes a loading tray for carrying the card trays and a conveying unit for moving the loading tray horizontally on the frame. A first pick-and-place robot is located on one side of the loading station for gripping the card trays onto the loading tray. Along the moving path of the loading tray, a color detection unit for collecting and comparing color information of the card trays and a size detection unit are also provided. The dimensional measurement unit includes a transfer system and at least one unloading system on one side of the aforementioned transfer unit. The transfer system includes a rotating tray for carrying the tray and a transfer unit for driving the rotating tray to move horizontally on the frame. The unloading system includes an unloading tray for carrying the tray and an unloading unit for driving the unloading tray to move horizontally on the frame. Above the starting and ending ends of the transfer unit are respectively a transfer mechanism for transferring the tray from the loading tray to the rotating tray and a feeding mechanism for transferring the tray from the rotating tray to the unloading tray. On one side of the unloading station is a second pick-and-place robot for gripping the tray from the unloading tray to the unloading station.

[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned conveying unit is a first linear module arranged on the frame in a left-right direction, and the aforementioned first linear module is provided with the aforementioned feeding tray.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second pick-up and place manipulators are multi-axis manipulators, and the execution ends of the first and second pick-up and place manipulators are provided with a first vacuum suction device for picking up the card tray.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned color detection unit includes a first stand, a detection dark chamber disposed on one side of the first stand, an LED light source disposed within the detection dark chamber, and a CCD industrial camera with its detection end facing downwards.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned size detection unit includes a second stand, a first linear drive mechanism disposed on one side of the second stand, a movable first slider disposed on the side of the first linear drive mechanism facing away from the second stand, a movable plate disposed on the side of the first slider, and a laser displacement sensor disposed vertically on the side of the movable plate, with the detection end of the laser displacement sensor facing downward.

[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned transfer unit is a second linear module arranged on the frame in the left-right direction, and the aforementioned second linear module is equipped with the aforementioned transfer tray.

[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned unloading unit is a third linear module arranged on the frame in the left-right direction, and the aforementioned third linear module is provided with the aforementioned unloading tray.

[0015] Furthermore, the aforementioned material transfer mechanism includes a second linear drive mechanism arranged in the front-to-back direction. The second linear drive mechanism is provided with a second slider that can be translated along its length direction. A first cylinder is vertically provided on the side of the second slider. A first horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder. A second vacuum suction device for picking up the card tray is provided on the side of the first horizontal plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the aforementioned feeding mechanism includes a third linear drive mechanism arranged in the front-back direction.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 10An integrated automatic device for color and size detection of card trays includes a frame 10. One end of the frame 10 has a loading station 11 for placing card trays to be detected, and the other end has a unloading station 12 for placing detected card trays. A conveying system 20 is provided between the loading station 11 and the unloading station 12. The conveying system 20 includes a loading tray 21 for carrying card trays and a conveying unit 22 for moving the loading tray 21 horizontally on the frame 10. A first picking and placing robot 13 is provided on one side of the loading station 11 for gripping card trays from the loading station 11 onto the loading tray 21. Along the moving path of the loading tray 21, there is also a color detection unit 30 for collecting and comparing color information of the card trays and a size detection unit 30 for measuring the size of the card trays. The measuring unit 40 and the conveying unit 22 are provided with a transfer system 50 and at least one unloading system 60 on one side. The transfer system 50 includes a transfer plate 51 for carrying the card tray and a transfer unit 52 for driving the transfer plate 51 to move horizontally on the frame 10. The unloading system 60 includes an unloading plate 61 for carrying the card tray and an unloading unit 62 for driving the unloading plate 61 to move horizontally on the frame 10. The transfer unit 52 is provided with a transfer mechanism 70 for transferring the card tray on the loading plate 21 to the transfer plate 51 and a feeding mechanism 80 for transferring the card tray on the transfer plate 51 to the unloading plate 61 above the starting end and the ending end, respectively. The unloading station 12 is provided with a second pick-and-place robot 14 for grabbing the card tray on the unloading plate 61 to the unloading station 12.

[0032] In application, the first robotic arm 13 picks up the card tray to be inspected from the loading station 11 and places it on the loading tray 21. The conveying unit 22 drives the loading tray 21 to move along a predetermined path, passing through the color detection unit 30 and the size detection unit 40 in sequence, thereby comparing the color information and detecting the size of the card tray to ensure that the color of the card tray is consistent and the size meets the requirements. After the inspection is completed, the transfer mechanism 70 transfers the card tray from the loading tray 21 to the transfer tray 51, and the transfer unit 52 drives the transfer tray 51 to the unloading area. The unloading mechanism 80 further transfers the card tray from the transfer tray 51 to the unloading tray 61, and the unloading unit 62 transports the unloading tray 61 to the designated position. Finally, the second robotic arm 14 picks up the qualified card tray from the unloading tray 61 and places it on the unloading station 12, realizing the integrated and automated operation of the entire card tray inspection process, reducing manual intervention, and significantly improving inspection efficiency and the stability of results.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 10The conveying unit 22 is a first linear module arranged on the frame 10 in the left-right direction. The first linear module is equipped with a loading tray 21. The first picking and placing robot 13 and the second picking and placing robot 14 are both multi-axis robots, such as six-axis robots. The execution ends of the first picking and placing robot 13 and the second picking and placing robot 14 are equipped with a first vacuum suction device 15 for picking up the card tray. The first linear module is a conventional equipment in existing automated production lines. It includes a servo motor, a ball screw driven by the servo motor, a sliding seat fixedly connected to the nut seat of the ball screw, and a linear guide rail parallel to the ball screw. The loading tray 21 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat. The servo motor drives the sliding seat to move along the linear guide rail, thereby realizing the precise movement of the loading tray 21 on the frame 10. The first vacuum suction device 15 includes multiple vertically arranged vacuum nozzles. Each vacuum nozzle has an air inlet at the top for connecting to an external vacuum generator and an adsorption end at the bottom for adsorbing the card tray. This arrangement enables the first pick-and-place robot 13 and the second pick-and-place robot 14 to efficiently and stably complete the gripping and placement of the card tray.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The color detection unit 30 includes a first stand 31, a detection dark chamber 32 disposed on one side of the first stand 31, an LED light source (not shown in the figure) disposed in the detection dark chamber 32, and a CCD industrial camera 33 with the detection end facing downward. The detection dark chamber 32 is designed as a fully enclosed structure to effectively isolate external light interference and ensure the accuracy of color detection. The LED light source is evenly distributed in the detection dark chamber to provide stable lighting conditions, enabling the CCD industrial camera 33 to capture a clear image of the card tray surface. This ensures that the CCD industrial camera 33 can collect the color information of the card tray and compare it with a preset standard to determine whether the color of the card tray meets the requirements.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The size detection unit 40 includes a second stand 41, a first linear drive mechanism 42 disposed on one side of the second stand 41, a movable first slider 43 disposed on the side of the first linear drive mechanism 42 facing away from the second stand 41, a moving plate 44 disposed on the side of the first slider 43, and a laser displacement sensor 45 disposed vertically on the side of the moving plate 44, with the detection end of the laser displacement sensor 45 facing downward. In this embodiment, the first linear drive mechanism 42 has the same structure as the first linear module. The first slider 43 is driven by a motor to move along a predetermined trajectory, so that the laser displacement sensor 45 on the side of the moving plate 44 can move accordingly, thereby adapting to different specifications of the feeding tray 21.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 8The transfer unit 52 is a second linear module arranged in the left-right direction on the frame 10, and the second linear module is provided with a transfer tray 51; the unloading unit 62 is a third linear module arranged in the left-right direction on the frame 10, and the third linear module is provided with an unloading tray 61. In this utility model, the structure of the second linear module and the third linear module is the same as the structure of the first linear module, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The transfer mechanism 70 includes a second linear drive mechanism 71 arranged in the front-to-back direction. The second linear drive mechanism 71 is provided with a second slider 72 that can be translated along its length. A first cylinder 73 is erected on the side of the second slider 72. A first horizontal plate 74 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 73. A second vacuum suction device 75 for picking up the card tray is provided on the side of the first horizontal plate 74. Since the structure of the second linear drive mechanism 71 is the same as that of the first linear module, its structure will not be described in detail. In application, the second linear drive mechanism 71 drives the second slider 72 to move above the loading tray 21. Then, the output end of the first cylinder 73 lifts up and drives the second vacuum suction device 75 to move down to pick up the card tray on the loading tray 21. Then, the output shaft of the first cylinder 73 retracts, and at the same time, the second linear drive mechanism 71 drives the second slider 72 to move above the transfer tray 51. Finally, the output end of the first cylinder 73 lifts up and drives the second vacuum suction device 75 to move down to place the card tray on the transfer tray 51, thereby completing the card tray transfer operation.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 10 The feeding mechanism 80 includes a third linear drive mechanism 81 arranged in the front-to-back direction. The third linear drive mechanism 81 has a third slider 82 that can translate along its length. A second cylinder 83 is vertically mounted on the side of the third slider 82. A second horizontal plate 84 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 83. A third vacuum suction device 85 for picking up the card tray is located on the side of the second horizontal plate 84. Since the structure of the third linear drive mechanism 81 is the same as that of the first linear module, it will not be described again here. In actual operation, the third linear drive mechanism 81 drives the third slider 82 to move above the transfer tray 51. Then, the output end of the second cylinder 83 extends, pushing the third vacuum suction device 85 downward to pick up the card tray on the transfer tray 51. Next, the second cylinder 83 retracts, and at the same time, the third linear drive mechanism 81 moves the third slider 82 to the unloading tray 61. Finally, the second cylinder 83 extends again, causing the third vacuum suction device 85 to place the card tray onto the unloading tray 61, thus completing the card tray feeding operation.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 10 It should be noted that the second and third vacuum suction devices have the same structure as the first vacuum suction device, so they will not be described in detail here; the top surfaces of the above-mentioned loading tray, transfer tray and unloading tray are all provided with several slots arranged in a matrix to accommodate the card trays.

[0040] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
