BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a double guide rod positioning mechanism with nut detection function includes a first positioning device and a second positioning device. The two parts cooperate with each other and are installed on the same rack or two adjacent racks for detection. The specific installation position of this embodiment can be determined according to the actual situation in the workshop.

[0020] The first positioning device comprises a first mounting seat 6 installed at a selected position in the workshop, a first double-guide rod cylinder 5 is installed on the side of the first mounting seat 6, and two piston guide rods of the first double-guide rod cylinder 5 are connected to the first detection seat 4. A first connecting block 3 is installed on the side of the first detection seat 4, a pin seat 2 is installed on the upper part of the first connecting block 3, and a positioning pin 1 is installed on the pin seat 2.

[0021] The second positioning device comprises a second double-guide rod cylinder 8, and two piston guide rods of the second double-guide rod cylinder 8 are connected to a second transmission block 9. A vertical motion block 10 is installed on the side of the second transmission block 9, and a second detection seat 11 is installed on the side of the upper end of the vertical motion block 10 facing the first detection seat, and a metal sensor is installed on the second detection seat 11 through a spring or an elastic rod.

[0022] The metal sensor is connected to a controller, and two double-guide cylinders are also connected to the controller. The controller uses an industrial computer.

[0023] A guide mechanism is provided between the first positioning device and the second positioning device. The guide mechanism includes a guide seat fixedly mounted on the side of the first mounting seat, and a U-shaped guide plate 12 is provided on the upper end surface of the guide seat. The second detection seat 11 moves up and down in the space inside the U-shaped guide plate 12.

[0024] At the beginning of the inspection, two double-guide cylinders are installed in the appropriate position. The first double-guide cylinder pushes the positioning pin and aligns the positioning pin with the preset position of the workpiece for positioning. The second double-guide cylinder drives the second detection block to rise, and the metal sensor on the second detection block is aligned with the part hole position. When there is no nut installed in the part hole, the metal sensor will detect that the nut is not installed, and the metal sensor will not send a detection signal. At this time, the industrial computer sends a signal. If there is a nut in the part hole, the metal sensor will send a detection signal, and it can be known that the nut has been installed and displayed on the industrial computer.

[0025] The above operation realizes automatic detection of nuts, improves detection efficiency, reduces labor intensity, makes detection simple, responds quickly, has stable working performance, and has high reliability, thereby increasing the economic benefits of the enterprise.
