The feeding equipment 100 comprises a lifting device 200 and a recognition and distinguishing device 400, wherein the lifting device 200 is used for transporting cop from bottom to top, the recognition and distinguishing device 400 is used for recognizing a large head end and a small head end of an empty tube, a special-shaped cop and a normal cop in a material, adjusting the posture of the normal cop 600 according to a recognition result, finally removing the empty tube and the special-shaped cop from the normal cop, and enabling the normal cop 600 to fall to a downstream process along a vertical direction in a posture that the large head end faces downwards and the small head end faces upwards.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, the lifting device 200 includes a fixed frame 210, a lifting mechanism 230, and an ejection mechanism 24. The lifting mechanism 230 is installed to the fixed frame 210, and the lifting mechanism 230 forms a vertically upward extending conveying passage to lift the materials from bottom to top. The lifting and blanking mechanism is installed on the fixed frame 210 and located at the top end of the lifting mechanism 230, and the ejection mechanism 24 is used for blocking the materials and pushing the materials into the distinguishing device.

Specifically, the fixed frame 210 includes two fixed vertical rods, the two fixed vertical rods are disposed at intervals in a first direction parallel to the horizontal direction, and each fixed vertical rod extends in the vertical direction. In this manner, the fixing frame 210 extends lengthwise in the vertical direction as a whole, thereby providing support in the vertical direction for the lifting mechanism 230. In the present application, the first direction is a length direction of the fixing frame 210 (i.e., an X direction in fig. 1), the second direction is a width direction of the fixing frame 210 (i.e., a Y direction in fig. 1), and the third direction is a height direction of the fixing frame 210 (i.e., a Z direction in fig. 1).

The lifting mechanism 230 includes a lifting panel 231, a driving assembly 232, two sets of lifting driving wheel sets 233, a lifting chain 234, and a lifting assembly 235. The lifting panel 231 is installed between the two fixed vertical rods, the lifting panel 231 is of a flat plate structure, the width direction of the lifting panel 231 extends along a first direction, the thickness direction of the lifting panel 231 extends along a second direction, and the length direction of the lifting panel 231 extends along a third direction. The two sets of lifting driving wheel sets 233 are respectively installed at the bottom and the top of the fixed frame 210, the two lifting chains 234 are respectively wound around the two sets of lifting driving wheel sets 233, and each lifting chain 234 is disposed at two opposite sides of the lifting panel 231 at an interval in the first direction. The driving assembly 232 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 210 and is in transmission connection with the lifting driving wheel set 233 located on the top, the plurality of groups of lifting assemblies 235 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the lifting chains 234, and two ends of each group of lifting assemblies 235 in the first direction are respectively and fixedly connected to the two lifting chains 234.

Thus, the lifting mechanism 230 forms a transmission channel extending along the third direction, the driving assembly 232 drives the lifting driving wheel set 233 to rotate, and further drives the lifting chain 234 to circularly move upwards, and finally drives the lifting assembly 235 located on one side of the lifting panel 231 to move upwards along the lifting panel 231, so as to convey the material carried thereon to move upwards along the third direction.

The ejecting mechanism 24 is installed at the top end of the fixed frame 210, and the ejecting mechanism 24 is configured to form an ejecting surface extending in a curved manner, and the distance of the ejecting surface from the lifting panel 231 is gradually increased in the conveying direction of the material. Therefore, the material on the lifting assembly 235 moves away from the lifting panel 231 until falling from the lifting assembly 235 into the identification distinguishing device 400 under the pushing of the ejection surface.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the identification and differentiation device 400 is mounted on the top of the fixed frame 210, and includes a main frame 410, a visual identification mechanism 420, a waste bin 430, a blanking mechanism 440, and a material blocking mechanism 450. Wherein the main frame 410 is configured to form an identification cavity 419 for receiving the material. A visual recognition mechanism 420 is located on a side of the recognition chamber 419 for capturing images of the material within the recognition chamber 419 and capturing material characteristics from the images. The waste bin 430 is located at one side of the recognition cavity 419, and a waste material inlet is formed at the top end of the waste bin 430 facing the visual recognition mechanism 420. The blanking mechanism 440 includes a blanking bin 441 located between the identification cavity 419 and the waste bin 430, a blanking inlet is disposed at the top end of the blanking bin 441 facing the visual identification mechanism 420, and a blanking outlet communicated with the blanking inlet is disposed at the bottom end of the blanking bin 441 far away from the visual identification mechanism 420. The material blocking mechanism 450 is positioned between the identification cavity 419 and the waste bin 430, and the material blocking mechanism 450 is controlled to enable the identification cavity 419 to alternatively communicate with the waste bin 430 or the blanking bin 441.

Thus, the material falling from the lifting assembly 235 under the action of the ejection mechanism 24 enters the identification cavity 419, the visual identification mechanism 420 can acquire the image of the material in the identification cavity 419 and acquire the material characteristics according to the image, so as to judge that the material is an empty tube, a special-shaped cop or a normal cop 600, the material stop mechanism 450 enables the empty tube and the special-shaped cop to fall into the waste bin 430 according to the judgment result, and the normal cop 600 falls into the blanking bin 441. Therefore, the above-mentioned identification and differentiation device 400 combines the visual algorithm and the mechanical mechanism, and the visual identification mechanism 420 and the material stop mechanism 450 cooperate to efficiently and accurately realize the function of removing the empty bobbin and the special-shaped bobbin from the normal bobbin 600, thereby improving the working efficiency of the feeding device 100.

Specifically, the main frame 410 has a substantially cubic structure, and includes a bottom plate 411, a left side plate 413, a right side plate 415, and a front plate 417.

The left side plate 413 and the right side plate 415 are located at opposite ends of the bottom plate 411 in the first direction, and the front plate 417 is located at one side of the bottom plate 411 in the second direction and is connected between the left side plate 413 and the right side plate 415. When the main frame 410 is mounted on the fixing frame 210, the fixing frame 210 is fixed to the side of the bottom plate 411 away from the front plate 417 in the first direction, and the ejection mechanism 24 is located above the side of the main frame 410 away from the front plate 417.

The recognition chamber 419 is formed in the main frame 410, the recognition chamber 419 extends in the first direction in the longitudinal direction, and the recognition chamber 419 is located obliquely below the ejection mechanism 24, so that the material ejected from the ejection mechanism 24 can smoothly enter the recognition chamber 419. It will be appreciated that the shape of the identification cavity 419 is not limited and may be configured as desired to meet the containment requirements of the material.

The visual recognition mechanism 420 includes a visual recognition support 421 and a visual recognition module 423. The visual identification support 421 is installed above the ejection mechanism 24 and vertically extends upwards along the third direction, the visual identification module 423 is installed on the visual identification support 421 and is far away from the top end of the ejection mechanism 24 and faces the identification cavity 419, the visual identification module 423 comprises a camera, so that an image of a material in the identification cavity 419 can be obtained, characteristics of the material can be obtained according to the image, the material is judged to be an empty tube, a special-shaped cop or a normal cop 600, and the positions of a big head end and a small head end of the normal cop 600 can be further judged. In this way, the form of the cop 600 can be quickly and accurately acquired by the visual recognition mechanism 420.

The material stopping mechanism 450 comprises a first material stopping assembly 452, a second material stopping assembly 454 and a distinguishing assembly 456, and the first material stopping assembly 452, the second material stopping assembly 454 and the distinguishing assembly 456 work together to guide the material in the identification cavity 419 to enter the waste bin 430 or the blanking bin 441.

The first material blocking assembly 452 is located between the identification cavity 419 and the blanking bin 441 in the second direction, and includes a first material blocking driving member 4521 and a first material blocking plate 4523. The front plate 417 is provided with a communication groove communicated with the identification cavity 419, the first material blocking driving member 4521 is mounted on one side, facing the identification cavity 419, of the front plate 417, the first material blocking plate 4523 is mounted on the first material blocking driving member 4521, and the first material blocking driving member 4521 can drive the first material blocking plate 4523 to reciprocate relative to the identification cavity 419 along the third direction so as to be dislocated or aligned with the communication groove, so that the identification cavity 419 and the blanking bin 441 are communicated or blocked.

Specifically, when the first material blocking driving member 4521 drives the first material blocking plate 4523 to move to the highest position along the third direction, the first material blocking plate 4523 and the communication groove are staggered from each other in the second direction, so that the identification cavity 419 and the blanking bin 441 can be communicated with each other, and the material can move from the identification cavity 419 to above the blanking bin 441. When the first striker plate 4523 is driven by the first striker driving member 4521 to move to the lowest position in the third direction, the first striker plate 4523 is aligned with the communication groove in the second direction, so that the recognition cavity 419 and the blanking bin 441 are blocked by the first striker plate 4523, and the material cannot leave the recognition cavity 419 under the blocking of the first striker plate 4523.

The second material stopping assembly 454 is located between the blanking bin 441 and the waste bin 430, and includes a second material stopping driving member 4541 and a second material stopping plate 4543. The second material blocking driving member 4541 is installed on a side of the front plate 417 facing away from the identification cavity 419, the second material blocking plate 4543 is installed on the second material blocking driving member 4541, the second material blocking driving member 4541 can drive the second material blocking plate 4543 to move along the third direction relative to the identification cavity 419 to be offset or aligned with the communication groove so as to communicate or block the blanking bin 441 and the waste bin 430, and a blanking gap selectively communicating the identification cavity 419 and the blanking bin 441 is formed between the first material blocking plate 4523 and the second material blocking plate 4543.

Specifically, when the second material blocking driving part 4541 drives the second material blocking plate 4543 to move to the highest position along the third direction, the second material blocking plate 4543 and the communication groove are displaced from each other in the second direction, so that the identification cavity 419 and the blanking bin 441 can be communicated with each other, and the material can move from the identification cavity 419 to above the blanking bin 441. When the second striker plate 4543 is moved to the lowermost position in the third direction by the second striker driving member 4541, the second striker plate 4543 is aligned with the communication groove in the second direction, and thus the drop bin 441 and the waste bin 430 are obstructed from each other by the first striker plate 4523, and the material cannot leave the drop gap formed between the first striker plate 4523 and the second striker plate 4543 by the obstruction of the second striker plate 4543.

The distinguishing component 456 is located above the blanking bin 441 and below the identification cavity 419, and the distinguishing component 456 is movable relative to the blanking bin 441 to extend into or out of the blanking gap. Specifically, the discrimination assembly 456 includes a first discrimination element 4561, a second discrimination element 4563, a first discrimination drive 4565, and a second discrimination drive 4567. The first distinguishing driving member 4565 and the second distinguishing driving member 4567 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, the first distinguishing member 4561 and the second distinguishing member 4563 are respectively connected with one ends of the first distinguishing driving member 4565 and the second distinguishing driving member 4567 in a transmission mode in the second direction, and one of the first distinguishing member 4561 and the second distinguishing member 4563 is controlled to extend into or leave the blanking gap along the second direction.

When first divider 4561 and second divider 4563 are both located within the blanking gap, first divider 4561 and second divider 4563 are both located above the blanking inlet of blanking bin 441, and materials may be retained within the blanking gap and rolled along into waste bin 430 under the support of first divider 4561 and second divider 4563. When one of the first and

second partitions

4561 and 4563 leaves the blanking gap, one end of the material loses support and preferentially falls into the blanking bin 441, thereby achieving posture adjustment of the material.

In some embodiments, the front plate 417 is further provided with a connector tile 4172 on a side facing the waste bin 430, one end of the connector tile 4172 is connected to the front plate 417 and is located on a side of the differentiating assembly 456 in the second direction, and the other end of the connector tile 4172 extends towards the waste bin 430. As such, material in the identification cavity 419 rolls down the differentiation component 456 and the connector tile 4172 into the waste bin 430.

In some embodiments, identification differentiation apparatus 400 further comprises a feed detection assembly 460, feed detection assembly 460 being disposed on at least one side of identification cavity 419, feed detection assembly 460 being configured to detect the presence or absence of material within identification cavity 419. When the feed detection assembly 460 detects the presence of material in the identification cavity 419, the visual identification module 423 is activated to acquire an image of the material.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the feeding detection assembly 460 includes a pair of photo-electric correlation sensors, wherein the emitting end and the receiving end of the photo-electric correlation sensor are respectively located at two opposite sides of the identification cavity 419 in the first direction, the emitting end can emit a light beam to the receiving end, when no material exists in the identification cavity 419, the light beam can normally reach the receiving end, and the receiving end can receive the light beam; when the material exists in the recognition cavity 419, the light beam cannot normally reach the receiving end, so that the receiving end cannot receive the light beam, and therefore the material in the recognition cavity 419 is judged.

In some embodiments, identification differentiation device 400 further comprises a clamping mechanism 470. The clamping mechanism 470 includes two sets of clamping assemblies respectively located on opposite sides of the identification cavity 419 in the first direction, the two sets of clamping assemblies being controlled to move toward or away from each other in the first direction to form a clamping gap for clamping the material located in the identification cavity 419. In this way, when the material enters the recognition cavity 419, the clamping mechanism 470 can clamp the material to stabilize the posture of the material and then retract, and at this time, the visual recognition mechanism 420 can shoot the material.

Specifically, each set of clamping assemblies includes a clamping driving member 472 mounted to the main frame 410 and a clamping plate 474 connected to one end of the clamping driving member, the clamping driving member 472 driving the clamping plate 474 to reciprocate in a first direction to clamp or unclamp the material.

In some embodiments, the width of the blanking bin 441 in the first direction gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the blanking bin 441 includes a first blanking housing 4412, a second blanking housing 4414, a first blanking driver 4416, and a second blanking driver 4418.

The first and

second blanking housings

4412 and 4414 are relatively movable in a first direction to be closed or separated by driving of the first and second blanking drivers 4416 and 4418.

In this way, when the identification and differentiation apparatus 400 is in a normal operation state, the first and

second blanking housings

4412 and 4414 are closed to adjust the falling posture of the material. When the individual materials are difficult to be blanked due to the size problem, the first blanking housing 4412 and the second blanking housing 4414 can be separated under the driving of the first blanking driving piece 4416 and the second blanking driving piece 4418, so that the materials stacked in the blanking bin 441 can be conveniently handled by the maintenance personnel.

Further, the blanking mechanism 440 further includes a rail mount 443, a blanking rail 445, a first blanking slider 447, and a second blanking slider 449.

Thus, the first blanking housing 4412 is reciprocated in the first direction along the blanking guide 445 by the first blanking driver 4416, and the second blanking housing 4414 is reciprocated in the second direction along the blanking guide 445 by the second blanking driver 4418.

In the application, the driving structures such as the first material blocking driving part 4521, the second material blocking driving part 4541, the first distinguishing driving part 4565, the second distinguishing driving part 4567, the first blanking driving part 4416, the second blanking driving part 4418 and the clamping driving part 472 are all formed by air cylinders. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the drive structure may also be formed by a drive element such as a motor.

The operation principle of the identification and discrimination device 400 for identifying and discriminating the cop 600 is as follows:

the feeding detection device detects whether the cop 600 exists in the identification cavity 419, the first material baffle plate 4523 and the second material baffle plate 4543 are at the lowest positions, and the cop 600 falling into the identification cavity 419 is located in the identification cavity 419 under the abutting of the first material baffle plate 4523. Meanwhile, the first and

second dividers

4561 and 4563 extend into the blanking gap, and the first and

second blanking shells

4412 and 4414 are folded.

When the cop 600 is detected in the recognition cavity 419 and the clamping mechanism 470 retracts after clamping the cop 600 to stabilize the position of the cop 600, the visual recognition mechanism 420 acquires an image of the cop 600 in the recognition cavity 419 and acquires material characteristics according to the image. When the visual recognition mechanism 420 judges that the cop 600 in the recognition cavity 419 is an empty tube or a special-shaped cop 600, the first striker plate 4523 is driven by the driving element of the first striker plate 4523 to ascend to the highest position, and the second striker plate 4543 is driven by the driving element of the second striker plate 4543 to ascend to the highest position, at the moment, the distinguishing component 456 is still positioned in the blanking gap to prevent the cop 600 from falling into the blanking bin 441, so that the empty tube or the special-shaped cop 600 falls into the waste bin 430 from the recognition cavity 419 through the distinguishing component 456.

When the visual recognition mechanism 420 judges that the cop 600 in the recognition cavity 419 is a normal cop 600, the position information of the large end and the small end of the cop 600 is acquired. The first striker plate 4523 is driven by the first striker driving member 4521 to ascend to the highest position, and the second striker plate 4543 is not changed in position, so that the cop 600 stays above the partition unit 456 under the block of the second striker plate 4543. According to the positions of the large end and the small end of the cop 600, the first partition 4561 or the second partition 4563 corresponding to the large end of the cop 600 is controlled to contract away from the blanking gap, so that the large end of the cop 600 preferentially falls into the blanking bin 441 to form a posture in which the large end faces downward.

Above-mentioned discernment distinguishing device 400 and throw material equipment 100 through combining together visual algorithm and mechanical structure, can judge the big or small head end of cop 600 and the shaping quality of cop 600 fast, accurately, possess big or small head end simultaneously and distinguish and special-shaped cop 600 and reject the function to the whole work efficiency who throws material equipment 100 has been improved. And the whole structure of the identification and distinguishing device 400 is compact, compared with the prior art, the number of driving parts is reduced, and the air consumption for the operation of the equipment is reduced.
