[0039] like Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of the detection device provided in this embodiment, which includes a grasping mechanism 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a detection mechanism 3 and a control mechanism.

[0040] Among them, the grabbing mechanism 1 includes a manipulator 11, the conveying mechanism 2 is arranged below the grabbing mechanism 1, the manipulator 11 can pick up the product 5 placed on the conveying mechanism 2, the detection mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 2 to detect the coating thickness of the product 5, and the control mechanism is electrically connected to the detection mechanism 3. First, the product 5 to be detected is transported to the designated position by the conveying mechanism 2, and then the product 5 is grabbed by the grabbing mechanism 1, and the manipulator 11 places the grabbed product 5 on the detection mechanism 3 to detect the coating thickness. The device can detect the thickness of the paint and coating coating of the product 5 to prevent the problem of uneven coating.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 2-6The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the conveying mechanism 2. The grasping mechanism 1 includes a support frame 12, a horizontal sliding assembly 13 and a vertical sliding assembly 14. The support frame 12 includes a crossbeam 121 and two columns 122. The two columns 122 are arranged in the vertical direction.

The manipulator 11 is slidably arranged on the crossbeam 121, the horizontal sliding assembly 13 is slidably arranged on the crossbeam 121, and the vertical sliding assembly 14 is slidably arranged on the horizontal sliding assembly 13 so that the vertical sliding assembly 14 moves in the vertical direction. The manipulator 11 is arranged on the vertical sliding assembly 14 and can move in the vertical direction.

[0042] Specifically, combined Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal sliding assembly 13 includes a first driving motor 131 and a sliding seat 132. One of the sliding seat 132 and the cross beam 121 is provided with a guide rail 134, and the other is provided with a groove 133. The guide rail 134 is slidably matched with the groove 133. The output end of the first driving motor 131 is provided through the sliding seat 132. The free end of the first driving motor 131 is connected with a first gear 135. The cross beam 121 is provided with a first rack 136. The first gear 135 is meshed with the first rack 136. The first driving motor 131 drives the first gear 135 to rotate, and the first gear 135 meshes with the first rack 136. Therefore, the sliding seat 132 can slide along the extension direction of the guide rail 134 to drive the vertical sliding assembly 14 to move.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The vertical sliding assembly 14 includes a second driving motor 141 and a lifting seat 142. The second driving motor 141 is arranged on the sliding seat 132. One of the sliding seat 132 and the lifting seat 142 is provided with a slide rail and the other is provided with a slide groove. The slide rail is slidably connected with the slide groove. The free end of the second driving motor 141 is connected with a second gear 143. The lifting seat 142 is provided with a second rack 144. The second gear 143 is meshed with the second rack 144. The manipulator 11 is arranged on the lifting seat 142. The second driving motor 141 drives the second gear 143 to rotate. The second gear 143 is meshed with the second rack 144 arranged on the lifting seat 142. Under the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide groove, the lifting seat 142 can move relative to the sliding seat 132 along the extension direction of the slide rail. Since the lifting seat 142 moves in the vertical direction, the manipulator 11 arranged thereon follows and moves up and down.

[0044] In addition, the manipulator 11 includes a rotating motor 111, a rotating part 112, a grabbing frame 113 and a grabbing part 114, wherein the rotating motor 111 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting seat 142, and the output end of the rotating motor 111 is connected to the rotating part 112, and the rotating part 112 is connected to the grabbing frame 113 and the grabbing part 114 in turn. The rotating motor 111 drives the rotating part 112, the grabbing frame 113 and the grabbing part 114 to rotate in turn, wherein the grabbing frame 113 includes two ends, each end is provided with a grabbing part 114, when one of the grabbing parts 114 grabs the product 5 to be inspected from the conveying mechanism 2, the product 5 after being grabbed can be rotated on the horizontal plane through the driving of the rotating motor 111, so as to be transferred to the inspection mechanism 3 for inspection. At the same time, under the working action of the horizontal sliding assembly 13 and the vertical sliding assembly 14, the position of the manipulator 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs to facilitate grabbing.

[0045] like Figure 7-8 The above is a schematic diagram of the structure of the conveying mechanism 2, which includes a frame 21, a baffle 22, a stopper assembly 24 and a plurality of conveying rollers 23 rotatably arranged on the frame 21, and the product 5 is placed on the plurality of conveying rollers 23.

In this embodiment, the number of the limiting rods 243 is 4, the number of the positioning rods 247 is 2, and every two limiting rods 243 form a group, and the two limiting rods 243 are respectively arranged on both sides of the positioning rod 247. Among them, the limit rod 243 is driven by the driving motor 244, the transmission screw and the transmission slider in sequence, the limit rod 243 is set on the transmission slider, and the transmission slider is slidably connected with the limit track 242, that is, the driving motor 244 drives the transmission screw to rotate through the belt, and the transmission screw is threadedly connected with the transmission slider, so that the transmission slider drives the limit rod 243 to slide along the limit track 242. When multiple limit rods 243 slide from the two ends of the conveying roller 23 to the middle, they are blocked in the moving direction of the product 5, so that the product 5 cannot continue to move with the conveying roller 23. The two positioning rods 247 in the middle are driven by the driving gear 245 and the movable rack 246. Specifically, the driving gear 245 is located in the middle and can rotate. Each positioning rod 247 is connected to a movable rack 246, and each movable rack 246 is meshed with the driving gear 245. The two movable racks 246 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the driving gear 245, and the bottom of each movable rack 246 is slidably connected to the limiting track 242. When the driving gear 245 rotates, the movable rack 246 moves under the guidance of the limiting track 242, and drives the positioning rod 247 to reciprocate along the length direction of the limiting track 242, so that the product 5 on the conveying roller 23 can be adjusted in the left and right position direction, so that the product 5 is centered, which is convenient for the grasping part 114 to grasp the product 5.

The clamping member 323 includes a connecting rod 3231 and a clamping pin 3232. The clamping pin 3232 is inserted into the placing table 322 and can slide along the table surface of the placing table 322. The free end of the clamping pin 3232 is provided with a limiting portion, which can clamp the product 5 placed on the placing table 322. The rotating member 324 is installed on the mounting frame 321 through the supporting legs 325. The rotating member 324 can rotate in the vertical direction, that is, it can rotate the product 5. The mechanical arm 312 drives the thickness detector 313 to detect the thickness of the product 5 placed on the placing table 322. The product 5 is turned over 180 degrees by rotating, so as to realize a comprehensive coating thickness detection of the product 5.

[0049] The device further comprises a conveying platform 4, which is arranged on the side of the detection mechanism 3. The product 5 after the detection is placed on the conveying platform 4 to be transferred to the subsequent process for other processing.

[0050] The working process of this embodiment is: first, the product 5 to be tested is transported by the conveying mechanism 2, and then the product 5 is grabbed by the grabbing mechanism 1 and placed on the testing mechanism 3, and the thickness of the product 5 is tested by the thickness detector 313, and then the product 5 after the test is transferred to the conveying table 4 by the grabbing mechanism 1, so as to facilitate the subsequent process operation.
