Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light bulb manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a testing and sorting device for light bulb manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] A light bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy. Light bulbs come in various types, including incandescent, fluorescent, and LED bulbs, and are widely used in homes, businesses, and industries. During the bulb manufacturing process, after assembly, the bulb needs to be placed on a testing platform to test whether it can light up normally.

[0003] In existing light bulb inspection and sorting equipment, the probes that come into contact with the light bulbs during the light emission detection are all rigid probes. Rigid probes are prone to poor contact with the light bulbs due to positioning deviations, which affects the accuracy of product inspection. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a testing and sorting device for light bulb production that can improve the accuracy of product testing.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A light bulb manufacturing inspection and sorting device is provided, comprising: a conveying device 10 for transporting light bulbs; an inspection device 20 including a lamp holder 21 and a flexible top-fitting mechanism 22; the lamp holder 21 being disposed on the surface of the conveying device 10 for receiving and inspecting light bulbs; the flexible top-fitting mechanism 22 being disposed on the lamp holder 21 for elastically moving to align and connect the light bulbs; a clamping device 30 disposed on one side of the output end of the conveying device 10 for clamping and moving inspected light bulbs; a controller 40 electrically and / or signal-connected to the inspection device 20 and the clamping device 30 for controlling the tightening and loosening of the clamping device 30; and a discharge device 50 disposed below the clamping device 30 for discharging defective light bulbs. Specifically, the controller 40 controls the clamping device 30 to release defective light bulbs as it passes the discharge device 50, causing the light bulbs to fall into the discharge device 50.

[0018] Understandably, the conveying device 10 is a component that transports light bulbs on the production line. It can be a sliding conveyor mechanism, a conveyor belt mechanism, etc., but is not limited to these. The detection device 20 is a component that detects whether the light bulb can emit light after the bulb's connecting circuit is energized. It can be a probe-type detection device, a gripper-type detection device, etc., but is not limited to these. The lamp holder 21 is a component that installs and detects the light bulb. It can be a fixed lamp holder 21, an adjustable lamp holder 21, etc., but is not limited to these. The flexible top-connecting mechanism 22 is a component that precisely connects the light bulb to the lamp holder 21 through movement and adjustment. It can be an elastic top-connecting flexible top-connecting mechanism 22, a floating top-connecting flexible top-connecting mechanism 22, etc., but is not limited to these. The clamping device 30 is a component that clamps the detected light bulb, removes it from the detection device 20 to the next processing step, and throws unqualified light bulbs to the discharge device 50. It can be a gripper with a sliding moving mechanism 31, or a robotic arm gripper moving mechanism, etc., but is not limited to these. The controller 40 controls the clamping mechanism's tightness or looseness based on information received from the detection device 20. This can be a PLC control mechanism, a DCS controller 40, or other similar devices, but is not limited to these. The discharge device 50 is the component that receives defective products from the clamping device 30. This can be a fixed discharge device 50 consisting of a soft guide plate and a receiving bin, or an active discharge device 50 consisting of an ascending device capable of receiving light bulbs and a receiving platform, but is not limited to these.

[0019] As can be seen from the above, the adjustable flexible top-connecting mechanism 22 in the detection device 20 of this equipment enables the bulb to be accurately aligned with the flexible top-connecting mechanism 22, improving the accuracy of detection. The equipment has a controller 40 connected to the clamping device 30 and the detection device 20. Based on the detection results of the detection device 20, the controller 40 controls the clamping and releasing of the clamping device 30. When a defective bulb passes through the discharge device 50, the clamping device 30 releases, causing the defective bulb to fall off, while qualified bulbs continue to be conveyed to the next processing step, achieving automatic detection and sorting of bulbs and improving production efficiency.

[0020] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The detection device 20 also includes a sensor 23 disposed on the flexible top contact mechanism 22 for sensing the pressure of the bulb.

[0021] Understandably, sensor 23 is a component that senses the pressure of the bulb and controls the flexible top contact mechanism 22 to adjust its position through controller 40. For example, it can be a capacitive pressure sensor 23 or a piezoelectric pressure sensor 23, but it is not limited to these.

[0022] With this setup, the sensor 23 senses the pressure of the bulb on the flexible top-mounting mechanism 22 to determine whether the flexible top-mounting mechanism 22 and the bulb are precisely aligned, thereby allowing the flexible top-mounting mechanism 22 to adjust its position.

[0023] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The flexible top-connecting mechanism 22 includes: a contact component 221 disposed within the lamp holder 21 for contacting the bulb to energize it; an elastic component 222 disposed below the contact component 221 for moving the contact component 221 vertically; and an adjusting component 223, the output end of which is connected to the flexible top-connecting mechanism 22 for adjusting the horizontal position of the flexible top-connecting mechanism 22.

[0024] Understandably, contact component 221 is the component that connects the bulb to the circuit; for example, it can be a probe-type contact component 221 or a screw-type contact component 221, but is not limited to these. Elastic component 222 is a component that maintains appropriate pressure between the contact component 221 and the bulb; for example, it can be a spring-adjustable elastic component 222 or a telescopic rod-adjustable elastic component 222, but is not limited to these. Adjustment component 223 is a component that adjusts the corresponding positions of the contact component 221 and the bulb in the horizontal direction to achieve precise alignment; for example, it can be adjusted by a universal joint or by a combination of two linear sliding mechanisms, but is not limited to these.

[0025] With this configuration, the position of the flexible top contact mechanism 22 can be adjusted in various directions by the elastic component 222 and the adjustment component 223, so that the flexible top contact mechanism 22 and the adjustment component 223 are precisely aligned, thereby improving the accuracy of bulb detection.

[0026] As can be seen, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adjusting component 223 includes: a first moving member 2231, disposed below the contact component 221, with its output end connected to an elastic component 222, for driving the elastic component 221 to move back and forth; and a second moving member 2232, with its output end connected to the first moving member 2231, for driving the elastic component 221 to move left and right.

[0027] Understandably, the first moving part 2231 and the second moving part 2232 drive the contact component 221 to move linearly forward, backward and left and right on the horizontal plane. For example, the first moving part 2231 and the second moving part 2232 can be electric push rod mechanisms, or miniature sliding rail mechanisms, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0028] With this configuration, the first moving part 2231 and the second moving part 2232 precisely drive the contact component 221 to move up, down, left, and right in the horizontal direction, thereby achieving precise control of the position of the contact component 221 and enabling the contact component 221 to be precisely connected to the light bulb.

[0029] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 Several lamp holders 21 are spaced apart and equidistantly arranged. Flexible top-connecting mechanisms 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the lamp holders 21.

[0030] Understandably, to test a light bulb, one lamp holder 21 and one flexible top-connecting mechanism 22 can be used. Multiple lamp holders 21 and multiple flexible top-connecting mechanisms 22 can be connected to the conveying device 10 at the same time, thereby testing multiple light bulbs simultaneously. For example, the conveying device 10 can be provided with a row of lamp holders 21 and flexible top-connecting mechanisms 22 arranged in equal distances. Alternatively, multiple rows of lamp holders 21 and flexible top-connecting mechanisms 22 can be arranged, but this is not the only option.

[0031] This setup allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple light bulbs via multiple lamp holders 21 and multiple flexible top-mounting mechanisms 22, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0032] As is known, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The clamping device 30 includes: a moving mechanism 31, disposed on one side of the output end of the conveying device 10, for moving the bulb left and right; a lifting mechanism 32, connected to the output end of the moving mechanism 31, for moving the bulb up and down; and several clamping mechanisms 33, connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism 32, for clamping the bulb.

[0033] Understandably, the moving mechanism 31 is the component that moves the bulb to the discharge device 50 and the next processing step. For example, it could be a nut and screw moving mechanism 31, or a sliding rail moving mechanism 31, but is not limited to these. The lifting mechanism 32 is the component that lowers or raises the clamping mechanism 33. For example, it could be a pneumatic lifting mechanism 32, or a hydraulic lifting mechanism 32, but is not limited to these. The clamping mechanism 33 is the component that moves the bulb after it is fixed. For example, it could be a film clamping mechanism 33, or a pneumatic gripper clamping mechanism 33, but is not limited to these. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7The clamping mechanism 33 is equipped with multiple clamping mechanisms that can simultaneously clamp multiple light bulbs for transport. The controller 40 can control the on / off state of the clamping mechanisms 33. For example, the controller 40 can control multiple clamping mechanisms 33 to clamp or release simultaneously. In this case, the controller 40 controls multiple clamping mechanisms 33 to simultaneously clamp all damaged or normal light bulbs based on the detection results from the detection device 20. Alternatively, the controller 40 can control the clamping of a single clamping mechanism 33 individually, but this is not a limitation. Because the latter method is more efficient, it is recommended to use the latter control method.

[0034] With this configuration, the moving mechanism 31, lifting mechanism 32 and clamping mechanism 33 enable the clamping device 30 to flexibly clamp and move the bulbs up, down and left and right, thereby achieving rapid sorting of bulbs and improving sorting efficiency.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, when the light bulb is placed on the lamp holder 21 on the conveying device 10, the flexible top contact mechanism 22 in the lamp holder 21 automatically adjusts the position of the light bulb and the contact component 221 so that the light bulb lights up. The detection device 20 sends the information of the unqualified light bulb to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the clamping device 30 to clamp the light bulb. If the light bulb is unqualified, the clamping device 30 releases the light bulb when it passes the discharge device 50. If the light bulb is qualified, the light bulb is conveyed to the next processing step.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
