Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to conveying devices, and particularly to a production apparatus capable of detecting depth images and a conveying device thereof.

Background

The existing production equipment comprises a conveying device which is used for carrying workpieces to be processed (such as shoe soles) by a plane (such as a conveying belt). For example, with existing production plants for making shoe soles, the shoe soles are arranged on the plane of the conveyor. However, the thickness of the sole is not large, so that it is difficult for the imaging device to distinguish the sole from a plane. Therefore, the existing production equipment mostly does not acquire the depth image of the workpiece to be processed (such as a sole), so that the depth image cannot be utilized to improve the manufacturing yield and efficiency of the workpiece to be processed in the production process.

In view of this, the inventor of the present invention provides a method for improving the above-mentioned defects by means of research and application of scientific principles.

Detailed Description

Please refer to fig. 1 to 12, which are exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and it should be noted that, in the embodiments, related numbers and shapes mentioned in the accompanying drawings are only used for describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, so as to facilitate the understanding of the contents of the present invention, and not for limiting the scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment discloses a production apparatus 1000 capable of detecting depth images, and the production apparatus 1000 capable of detecting depth images is illustrated as a sole production apparatus in the present embodiment, but the invention is not limited thereto. The production equipment 1000 capable of detecting depth images includes a carrier 200, a conveying device 100 disposed on the carrier 200, an image capturing device 300, a spraying device 400, and a detecting device 500. The positions of the camera 300, the spraying device 400, and the detecting device 500 correspond to different blocks of the conveying device 100 and are arranged in sequence.

In the present embodiment, the conveying device 100, the image capturing device 300, and the detecting device 500 are described as being mounted on the stage 200, and the spraying device 400 is mounted outside the stage 200 (e.g., on the ground), but the invention is not limited thereto. That is, in other embodiments not shown in the present disclosure, the conveying device 100, the image capturing device 300, and the detecting device 500 may be installed outside the stage 200, or the spraying device 400 may be installed on the stage 200.

It should be noted that the conveying device 100 is described in the present embodiment as being associated with the stage 200, the image capturing device 300, the spraying device 400, and the detecting device 500, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present disclosure, the conveying device 100 can be used alone or in combination with other devices for conveying the object to be processed (e.g., shoe sole). The following is a description of the structure and connection relationship of each device of the production facility 1000 capable of detecting depth images according to the present embodiment.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the conveying device 100 includes a conveying belt 1, a carrier 2 mounted on the conveying belt 1, and a driving assembly (not shown) for driving the conveying belt 1 to move. The driving assembly may include a motor, a chain, a gear set, and other components, so that the driving assembly can obtain power required by operation from an external power source (not shown), and further drive the conveyor belt 1 to move.

The conveyor belt 1 is movably disposed on the carrier 200 along a conveying path P, and the conveyor belt 1 is illustrated as being wound around a circle in the embodiment, and the cooperation between the conveyor belt 1 and other devices (such as the image capturing device 300, the spraying device 400, and the detecting device 500) is mainly the upper half circle structure. The conveying path P defines an upstream zone P1 and a downstream zone P2 in sequence, that is, the workpiece S (e.g., fig. 8) located in the upstream zone P1 is conveyed toward the downstream zone P2 by the conveyor 1. The upstream region P1 and the downstream region P2 are located in the upper half of the conveyor belt 1 in this embodiment.

Furthermore, the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 includes a detection area 12, and the range of the detection area 12 is related to the camera device 300 in this embodiment. For example, the range of the detection region 12 refers to the range of images that can be acquired by the image capturing device 300, but the range of the detection region 12 of the present invention is not limited by the drawings.

It should be noted that the conveyor belt 1 is illustrated as a single-piece structure in the embodiment, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the detection area 12 of the conveyor belt 1 may be a multi-piece structure under the above conditions.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the carriers 2 are mounted on the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1, and the conveyor belt 1 and the carriers 2 are respectively made of different materials in this embodiment, and the carriers 2 are fixed to the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 at the bottom edges thereof.

Further, in order to enable the image capturing device 300 to accurately identify the detection area 12 of the conveyor belt 1, the carrier 2 preferably meets the following conditions, but the invention is not limited thereto. The projected area of the carrier 2 projected onto the detection area 12 of the conveyor belt 1 is less than or equal to 60% (preferably between 5% and 60%) of the area of the detection area 12. A height H of the carrier 2 relative to the outer surface 11 is not less than 3 millimeters (mm) (preferably, between 5 mm and 20 mm).

It should be noted that, on the premise that the image capturing apparatus 300 can accurately identify the detection area 12, the structure of the carrier 2 can be adjusted according to design requirements, and the embodiment is described in which the carrier 2 includes a plurality of carriers 21, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present disclosure, the carrier 2 may be a single-piece structure.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, each of the supporting bodies 21 is elongated, and a cross-sectional area of each supporting body 21 parallel to the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 is gradually reduced from the adjacent outer surface 11 toward the direction away from the outer surface 11 (e.g., from bottom to top in fig. 5), but the invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 2 and 6, the plurality of carrier bodies 21 are disposed on the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 in parallel with each other, and the longitudinal direction of each carrier body 21 is perpendicular to the conveying path P. In the present embodiment, the plurality of carriers 21 are disposed on the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 at equal intervals, and a distance G between any two carriers 21 is preferably greater than a maximum thickness T of any one carrier 2 corresponding to the conveying path P, so that the image capturing device 300 can clearly identify the detecting area 12 of the conveyor belt 1, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The carrier 21 may have a structure other than a long shape, and as shown in fig. 7, each of the carriers 21 may have a columnar shape, and the plurality of carriers 21 may be provided at intervals on the outer surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1.

As shown in fig. 1, the image capturing device 300 is correspondingly disposed above the upstream area P1 of the conveyor belt 1, and the image capturing device 300 is located right above the upstream area P1 of the conveyor belt 1 in this embodiment, so as to be able to obtain the depth image of the conveyor 100 located therebelow and the workpiece S conveyed by the conveyor. In the embodiment, the to-be-processed object S is a sole S, but is not limited thereto.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 to 10, when the sole S is disposed on the carrier 2, the camera 300 can obtain a depth image of the sole S and the detecting region 12 and the carrier 2 around the sole S. In the embodiment, the conveyor belt 1 and the carrier 2 are different from the sole S in the depth image by at least partially limiting the conditions (such as the area of the projection area, the height H, the cross-sectional area, or the distance G), so as to facilitate the identification of the image of the sole S.
