[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present application has at least the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The present application detects the model of parts through the mixing detection mechanism of the external detection module to avoid mixing, and respectively detects the spline, outer diameter, length and bevel gear parameters of the parts through the spline detection mechanism, outer diameter detection mechanism, length detection mechanism and bevel gear detection mechanism, and respectively detects the passability of the inner hole, thread and inner diameter of the inner hole of the parts through the inner hole detection mechanism, thread detection mechanism and inner diameter detection mechanism of the internal detection module, so as to realize the detection of various parameters required for the parts. The parts to be tested are transferred from the tray to the mixing detection mechanism by a robot to realize automatic loading. The parts are transferred between the processes in the external detection module in turn by the transfer mechanism to complete the detection of multiple parameters on a part. The transfer of the parts from the external detection module to the internal detection module is realized by the robot, and the parts are transported by the turntable conveying mechanism in the internal detection module, so that the parts pass through multiple processes in turn to complete the detection of the corresponding parameters, and the parts after the detection are removed by the robot. It realizes the automation of loading and unloading of parts and the transfer between various inspection processes, and completes the inspection of various parameters of parts in sequence. There is no mutual interference between the inspection mechanisms, and multiple parts can be inspected at the same time, which effectively improves the inspection efficiency and can quickly complete the inspection of batch parts.

[0016] 2. In the mixing detection mechanism of the present application, the first supporting component supports the part with its axis horizontal and drives the part to rotate. The part with its axis horizontal only needs to be supported at the bottom to facilitate the transfer mechanism to transfer the part. The QR code on the part is identified by the scanning component. The part is rotated to ensure that the scanning component can scan the QR code. The model data of the part is obtained by identifying the QR code to avoid mixing of parts of other models.

[0017] 3. The mixing detection mechanism of the present application supports the part in a horizontal axis state through the second support assembly and drives the part to rotate, so as to facilitate the transfer mechanism to transfer the part. During the detection, the second support assembly rotates the part, and drives the spline gauge to move close to the part through the first drive assembly, so that the part spline can smoothly enter into a mating state with the spline gauge. If the part spline is qualified, the part spline can completely pass through the spline gauge. Therefore, under the set stroke, if the pressure sensor detects that the pressure data does not change significantly; when the part is unqualified, the part spline cannot completely pass through the spline gauge, and the spline gauge will abut against the part when it moves. The pressure sensor detects that the pressure data will increase. Therefore, whether the part spline is qualified can be judged according to the change in the pressure sensor data. The function of automatically detecting the passability of the part spline is realized.

[0018] 4. The outer diameter detection mechanism of the present application is provided with a pneumatic outer diameter probe and a second drive assembly. The pneumatic outer diameter probe can directly support the part in a horizontal axis state and complete the outer diameter measurement work at the same time. The measurement method is simple. The second drive assembly rotates the part to improve the accuracy of the detection result. The detection data can be compared with the standard data to determine whether the outer diameter of the part is qualified, thereby realizing the function of automatically detecting the outer diameter of the part.

[0019] 5. The length detection mechanism of the present application supports the part with its axis in a horizontal state through a third support assembly and limits the axial movement of the part. The third drive assembly drives the length sensor to move close to the part to detect the length of the part. Within the set moving stroke, the length sensor compares the detection data with the standard data to determine whether the length of the part is qualified, thereby realizing the function of automatically detecting the length of the part.

[0020] 6. The helical gear detection mechanism of the present application supports the part through the fourth supporting component, and detects the helical gear parameters of the part through the first visual detection component. The visual detection component can obtain the part image, analyze the image to obtain the various parameters of the helical gear of the part, and compare them with the standard parameters to determine whether the parameters of the helical gear of the part are qualified, thereby realizing the function of automatically detecting the helical gear parameters of the part.

[0021] 7. The present application sets a plurality of stations distributed along the circumference of the turntable on the stand, and sets the inner hole detection mechanism, thread detection mechanism and inner diameter detection mechanism in one station respectively and distributes them in sequence in the conveying direction of the turntable, so as to realize the function of conveying parts through the inner hole detection mechanism, thread detection mechanism and inner diameter detection mechanism in sequence. The fifth support assembly on the turntable plays the role of supporting the parts so that the turntable can convey the parts stably. The turntable can convey multiple parts at the same time, and when one part is in one station, all the parts are respectively in one station, so that the inner hole detection mechanism, thread detection mechanism and inner diameter detection mechanism can operate simultaneously to perform the detection work of the three parts, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0022] 8. In the inner hole detection mechanism of the present application, during the detection, the part is conveyed between the first support member and the plug gauge, the first support member restricts the upward movement of the part at the top of the part, the plug gauge is located below the part, and the first connecting seat is driven to move upward by the fourth drive assembly, driving the plug gauge to move upward and insert into the inner hole of the part to perform the passability detection of the inner hole. When the inner hole of the part is qualified, the plug gauge can be fully inserted into the inner hole of the part during the process of moving upward from the lowest starting position to the highest position with the first connecting seat, the plug gauge does not move relative to the first connecting seat, and the distance between the plug gauge and the first reference part detected by the first laser displacement sensor does not change; and when the inner hole of the part is unqualified, the plug gauge moves upward from the lowest starting position to the highest position with the first connecting seat, and the plug gauge is partially inserted into the inner hole of the part and abuts against the part, and the part prevents the plug gauge from continuing to move upward with the first connecting seat, so that the plug gauge moves relative to the first connecting seat, and the distance between the plug gauge and the first reference part detected by the first laser displacement sensor changes. Whether the distance between the first laser displacement sensor and the first reference part changes is determined based on whether the passability of the inner hole of the part is qualified, thereby realizing the function of automatically detecting the passability of the inner hole of the part.

[0023] 9. The thread detection mechanism of the present application, when the part is transported to the station, is located below the thread gauge and coaxial with the thread gauge, the fourth clamp clamps the part to limit the rotation of the part, the sixth drive assembly drives the thread gauge to rotate, and the fifth drive assembly drives the second connection seat to move downward, driving the second mounting seat and the thread gauge to move downward to form a match with the thread of the part. When the thread size of the part is qualified, the thread gauge moves downward from the highest position to the lowest position with the second connection seat, and the thread gauge can form a complete match with the thread of the part, the thread gauge does not move relative to the second connection seat, and the distance between the second laser displacement sensor and the second mounting seat does not change; when the thread size of the part is unqualified, the thread gauge moves upward from the highest position to the lowest position with the second connection seat, and the thread gauge cannot form a complete match with the thread of the part. After reaching the maximum degree of fit, it abuts against the part, and the part prevents the thread gauge and the second mounting seat from continuing to move downward with the second connection seat, so that the thread gauge and the second mounting seat move relative to the second connection seat, and the distance between the second laser displacement sensor and the second mounting seat changes. Whether the thread passability of the part is qualified can be judged according to whether the distance between the second laser displacement sensor and the second mounting seat changes, thereby realizing the function of automatically detecting the thread size of the part.

[0024] 10. During inspection, the inner diameter detection mechanism of the present application is located above the pneumatic inner diameter probe and coaxial with the pneumatic inner diameter probe when the part is transported to the workstation. The pneumatic inner diameter probe is driven upward by the seventh drive assembly to be inserted into the inner hole of the part. The diameter of the inner hole of the part is measured by the pneumatic inner diameter probe. The measured data is compared with the standard data to determine whether the inner hole of the part is qualified, thereby realizing the function of automatically detecting the diameter of the inner hole of the part.

The control system receives the image captured by the camera and analyzes and processes the image to determine the rotation direction of the bevel tooth, thereby further avoiding mixing.

[0040] Reference Figure 6As shown, the mixing detection mechanism 22 also includes a first proximity switch 225, which is located between the two first support roller groups 2211. When the part is placed on the two first support roller groups 2211, the spur tooth segment of the part is located directly above the first proximity switch 225. When the part rotates, its gear teeth can trigger the first proximity switch 225, while the tooth groove area does not trigger the first proximity switch 225. Therefore, the number of gear teeth can be obtained according to the number of times the first proximity switch 225 is triggered when the part rotates one circle, thereby realizing the detection of the number of teeth of the spur tooth segment of the part.

[0041] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the spline detection mechanism 23 includes a second support assembly 231 and a spline gauge 232. The second support assembly 231 is arranged on the stand 1 to support the part with its axis horizontal and drive the part to rotate. The part is restricted from axial movement when it is on the second support assembly 231. The spline gauge 232 is arranged on the stand 1 with its axis horizontal. The spline gauge 232 and the second support assembly 231 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the spline gauge 232. When the part is on the second support assembly 231, it is coaxial with the spline gauge 232 and the spline end faces the spline gauge 232. A first drive assembly 233 for driving the spline gauge 232 to move axially is provided on the stand 1. A pressure sensor 234 is provided between the spline gauge 232 and the first drive assembly 233. The pressure sensor 234 is used to detect the pressure between the spline gauge 232 and the first drive assembly 233 in the axial direction of the spline gauge 232.

[0042] During detection, the second supporting assembly 231 rotates the part, and drives the spline gauge 232 to move close to the part through the first driving assembly 233, so that the part spline can smoothly enter into a mating state with the spline gauge 232. If the part spline is qualified, the part spline can completely pass through the spline gauge 232. Therefore, under the set stroke, if the pressure sensor 234 detects that the pressure data does not change significantly; when the part is unqualified, the part spline cannot completely pass through the spline gauge 232, and the spline gauge 232 will abut against the part when moving, and the pressure sensor 234 detects that the pressure data will increase. Therefore, whether the part spline is qualified can be judged based on the change in the data of the pressure sensor 234.

The touch rod 255 is connected to a contact 256 for contacting a part at one end away from the length sensor 252, and directly contacts the part through the touch rod 255 instead of the length sensor 252. A first spring 257 is provided between the feeler rod 255 and the support plate 254 on which the length sensor 252 is installed. The first spring 257 is coaxially sleeved outside the length sensor 252. A stop block is coaxially sleeved on the feeler rod 255. The first spring 257 is located between the stop block and the support plate 254 on which the length sensor 252 is installed, and the two ends of the first spring 257 are respectively against the stop block and the support plate 254. During detection, the third driving component 253 drives the feeler rod 255 and the length sensor 252 to move axially close to the part.

The positioning sleeve 3132 is located below the turntable 311 and is coaxial with the bushing 3131. The top of the positioning sleeve 3132 is fixed to the turntable 311. The bottom of the positioning sleeve 3132 is set to gradually reduce the inner diameter from top to bottom. The minimum inner diameter of the bottom of the positioning sleeve 3132 is consistent with the outer diameter of the inner hole end of the part, so that the inner hole end of the part can pass through the positioning sleeve 3132, so that the bushing 3131 and the positioning sleeve 3132 cooperate to position and support the part. The robot 4 places the part in the fifth supporting assembly 313 with the axis vertical and the inner hole end facing downward.

The plug gauge 322 is connected to the stand 1, and the plug gauge 322 is located below the turntable 311 with a vertical axis.

The first reference piece 325 is connected to the stand 1. The first laser displacement sensor 326 is relatively fixed to the plug gauge 322. The first laser displacement sensor 326 is used to detect the distance between it and the first reference piece 325 in the axial direction of the plug gauge 322.

[0065] When testing the passability of the inner hole, the part is transported between the first support member 321 and the plug gauge 322.

The first connecting seat 323 is driven upward by the fourth driving assembly 324, driving the plug gauge 322 to move upward and be inserted into the inner hole of the part to perform the passability test of the inner hole. When the inner hole of the part is qualified, the plug gauge 322 moves upward from the lowest position to the highest position with the first connecting seat 323, and the plug gauge 322 can be completely inserted into the inner hole of the part, the plug gauge 322 does not move relative to the first connecting seat 323, and the distance between the plug gauge 322 and the first reference part 325 detected by the first laser displacement sensor 326 does not change; when the inner hole of the part is unqualified, the plug gauge 322 moves upward from the lowest position to the highest position with the first connecting seat 323, and the plug gauge 322 is partially inserted into the inner hole of the part and abuts against the part, and the part prevents the plug gauge 322 from continuing to move upward with the first connecting seat 323, so that the plug gauge 322 moves relative to the first connecting seat 323, and the distance between the plug gauge 322 and the first reference part 325 detected by the first laser displacement sensor 326 changes. According to whether the distance between the plug gauge 322 and the first reference part 325 detected by the first laser displacement sensor 326 changes, it is judged whether the passability of the inner hole of the part is qualified.

After the plug gauge 322 is inserted into the inner hole of the unqualified part to the maximum depth, the first mounting seat 327 and the first support seat 2312 are relatively moved under the obstruction of the part, and the first mounting seat 327 compresses the second spring 329. After the plug gauge 322 is separated from the part, the relative position of the first mounting seat 327 and the first connecting seat 323 is restored to the initial state by the elastic force of the second spring 329, that is, the relative position of the plug gauge 322 and the first laser displacement sensor 326 and the first connecting seat 323 is restored to the initial state, so as to carry out the subsequent part inspection.

[0068] Reference Fig.15 As shown, the first support member 321 is a cylindrical block with a vertical axis, and a positioning hole is set at the bottom for the threaded end of the part to be embedded. The first support member 321 is set to be vertically movable, and the first support member 321 is driven to move vertically by the slide cylinder. When the part reaches below the first support member 321, the slide cylinder drives the first support member 321 to descend until the threaded end of the part is embedded in the positioning hole, and the first support member 321 presses the part to limit the part from being driven upward by the plug gauge 322, ensuring that the plug gauge 322 is fully inserted into the inner hole of the part to complete the inspection.

Among them, it is suitable that when the thread gauge 332 rotates and moves downward with the second mounting seat 335 and the second connecting seat 334 towards the part, when the thread gauge 332 and the unqualified part reach the maximum degree of fit, the thread gauge 332 and the second mounting seat 335 are restricted by the part to continue to move with the second connecting seat 334.

[0071] When inspecting the thread of a part, when the part is transported to the workstation where the thread inspection mechanism 33 is located, it is located below the thread gauge 332 and coaxial with the thread gauge 332.

When the thread size of the part is qualified, the thread gauge 332 moves downward from the highest position to the lowest position with the second connecting seat 334, and the thread gauge 332 can fully match with the thread of the part, the thread gauge 332 does not move relative to the second connecting seat 334, and the distance between the second laser displacement sensor 333 and the second mounting seat 335 does not change; when the thread size of the part is unqualified, the thread gauge 332 moves upward from the highest position to the lowest position with the second connecting seat 334, and the thread gauge 332 cannot fully match with the thread of the part, and after reaching the maximum degree of matching, it abuts against the part, and the part prevents the thread gauge 332 and the second mounting seat 335 from continuing to move downward with the second connecting seat 334, so that the thread gauge 332 and the second mounting seat 335 move relative to the second connecting seat 334, and the distance between the second laser displacement sensor 333 and the second mounting seat 335 changes. Whether the thread passability of the part is qualified can be judged according to whether the distance between the second laser displacement sensor 333 and the second mounting seat 335 changes.

[0072] Reference Fig.16 As shown, specifically, a second support mounted with a thread detection mechanism 33 is provided on the stand 1, and a second connecting seat 334 is connected to the second support and can move vertically relative to the second support. The fifth driving assembly 336 adopts a linear module to realize the function of driving the second connecting seat 334 to vertically rise and fall, and the sixth driving assembly 337 adopts a motor to drive the thread gauge 332 to rotate through the motor.

[0073] Reference Fig.16As shown, after the inspection of each part is completed, in order to restore the relative position of the second mounting seat 335 that moves relative to the second connecting seat 334 and the second connecting seat 334 to an initial state, a second supporting block 338 is provided on the second connecting seat 334 below the second mounting seat 335, and a third spring 339 is provided between the second mounting seat 335 and the second supporting block 338, and both ends of the third spring 339 are respectively fixed to the second mounting seat 335 and the second supporting block 338. After the thread gauge 332 and the thread of the unqualified part reach the maximum degree of fit, the second mounting seat 335 and the second support seat 2512 are relatively moved due to the obstruction of the part, and the second mounting seat 335 will pull the third spring 339 to stretch the third spring 339. After the thread gauge 332 is separated from the part, the elastic force of the third spring 339 restores the relative position of the second mounting seat 335 and the second connecting seat 334 to the initial state, that is, the relative position of the thread gauge 332 and the second laser displacement sensor 333 and the second connecting seat 334 is restored to the initial state, so as to carry out subsequent parts inspection.

[0074] Through the above arrangement, after the part is transported from the turntable 311 to the thread detection mechanism 33, the thread detection mechanism 33 automatically operates to perform thread detection, thereby realizing automation of the part thread detection work.

[0075] Reference Fig.17 As shown, the inner diameter detection mechanism 34 includes a pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 and a third connection seat 342. The pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 is arranged on the stand 1. The pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 is located below the turntable 311 and its axis is vertical. When the part moves with the turntable 311 to the station where the inner diameter detection mechanism 34 is located, it is located above the pneumatic inner diameter probe 341, and the inner hole of the part is coaxial with the pneumatic inner diameter probe 341. The pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 is connected to the stand 1 through the third connection seat 342. The third connection seat 342 can move relative to the stand 1 along the axis of the pneumatic inner diameter probe 341. The stand 1 is provided with a seventh drive assembly 343 for driving the third connection seat 342 to move.

[0076] Reference Fig.17 As shown, the inner diameter detection mechanism 34 further includes a second support member 344, which is disposed above the turntable 311 and is used to limit the upward movement of the parts above the parts. The second support member 344 is a cylindrical block. When the parts are transported to the station where the inner diameter detection mechanism 34 is located, they are located between the second support member 344 and the pneumatic inner diameter probe 341. The second support member 344 is also configured to be vertically movable and is driven to move vertically by a cylinder.

[0077] During inspection, when the part is transported to the workstation where the inner diameter detection mechanism 34 is located, it is located above the pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 and coaxial with the pneumatic inner diameter probe 341. The second support member 344 descends to contact the part. The pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 is driven upward by the seventh drive assembly 343 to be inserted into the inner hole of the part. The pneumatic inner diameter probe 341 measures the diameter of the inner hole of the part. The measured data is compared with the standard data to determine whether the inner hole of the part is qualified.

[0078] Reference Fig.17 As shown, specifically, a third support for mounting the inner diameter detection mechanism 34 is provided on the stand 1, and a third connecting seat 342 is connected to the third support and can move vertically relative to the third support. The seventh driving assembly 343 adopts a linear module to realize the function of driving the third supporting seat 2612 and the pneumatic inner diameter measuring head 341 thereon to move axially.

[0079] Reference Figure 1 As shown, since the inner hole of the part includes two regions with different diameters, the two regions with different diameters need to be inspected by the adapted plug gauge 322 respectively. Figure 3 and Figure 12-13 As shown, in this embodiment, two inner hole detection mechanisms 32 and two inner diameter detection mechanisms 34 are respectively provided. The two inner hole detection mechanisms 32 are respectively provided in two adjacent workstations to respectively detect the passability of two sections with different inner hole diameters of the part. The two inner diameter detection mechanisms 34 are respectively provided in two adjacent workstations to respectively detect the diameters of two sections with different inner hole diameters of the part.

[0080] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, further, two part trays 8 are arranged on the inspection table 11, and the part trays 8 are arranged horizontally and can move along the first straight line direction. The two part trays 8 are used as a part loading tray and a part unloading tray respectively. The part loading tray is arranged near the external inspection module 2, and the part unloading tray is arranged near the internal inspection module 3. The movable arrangement of the part tray 8 is realized by the cooperation of the guide rail and the slider, and the guide rail extends outside the inspection table 11, so that the personnel can place the part turnover tray 311 on the part loading tray or take out the part turnover tray 311 from the part unloading tray outside the inspection table 11. In addition, a tray baffle 9 and a turnover tray 311 sensing sensor are arranged on the inspection table 11. When the tray moves to contact with the tray baffle 9, the positioning of the tray is completed. At this time, the tray is at the position where the robot 4 grabs or puts the parts, and the turnover tray 311 sensing sensor senses whether there is a turnover tray 311 on the tray.

[0081] Through the above-mentioned settings, the present application can realize the automation of loading and unloading of parts and the transfer between various inspection processes, complete the inspection of various parameters of the parts in sequence, and automatically complete the inspection of the parts in each mechanism. There is no mutual interference between the inspection mechanisms, and multiple parts can be inspected at the same time, realizing the automation of batch parts inspection, effectively improving the inspection efficiency, and thus quickly completing the inspection of batch parts.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
