Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material conveying, and in particular to a detection template. Background Technology

[0002] Automated feeding devices are widely used. For example, automated nail feeders are widely used in equipment assembly. Their main function is to transport a large number of screws to the assembly point and, together with an automatic tightening device, tighten each screw individually on the equipment. These feeding devices typically include conveying pipes to transport the materials. However, since these pipes are hidden inside the equipment, and different materials have different dimensions and specifications—for example, screws used on different equipment will have completely different sizes and shapes—to ensure that the screws match the conveying pipes in the feeding device and can be transported smoothly without clogging, current technology typically involves manually measuring and calculating the screw's length-to-diameter ratio and comparing it with the inner diameter of the conveying pipe to determine the appropriate type of conveying pipe. This process is tedious and complex, and because it relies on manual calculations, the calculation methods are inconsistent, resulting in relatively large errors. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a detection template for quickly and accurately determining the minimum conveying pipe size that can smoothly transport the object to be tested.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a detection template, comprising:

[0005] Template body;

[0006] A detection unit is disposed on the template body, and the detection unit has a detection chamber;

[0007] Specifically, when the object to be tested can be placed into the detection chamber and can slide smoothly relative to it to the target position within the detection chamber, it indicates that the object to be tested can be smoothly transported by the designated conveying pipe in the material conveying device. The shape and size of the designated conveying pipe correspond to and match the shape and size specifications of the detection chamber, and the size specifications of the designated conveying pipe are the minimum size specifications that can smoothly transport the object to be tested.

[0008] Preferably, the conveying pipeline includes a material conveying pipeline, and the detection unit includes:

[0009] The first detection unit has a first detection chamber;

[0010] When the test object can be placed into the first detection chamber and can slide smoothly relative to it to the target position within the first detection chamber, it indicates that the test object can be smoothly transported by the first conveying pipe in the material conveying device, and the shape and size specifications of the first conveying pipe correspond to and match the first detection chamber.

[0011] Preferably, there are multiple first detection units, and the shape and / or size of the first detection chamber of each first detection unit are different. The shape and size of the multiple first detection chambers correspond to and match the shape and size of multiple conveying pipes in the material conveying device.

[0012] Preferably, the conveying pipeline includes a storage pipeline, and the detection unit includes:

[0013] The second detection unit has a second detection chamber and a test scale line located at least partially within the second detection chamber;

[0014] When the test object can be placed into the second detection chamber in a specified form, and the specified part of the test object does not exceed the test scale line, it indicates that the test object can move smoothly in the second detection chamber and the first storage pipe in the material conveying device, and the shape and size specifications of the first storage pipe correspond to and match the second detection chamber.

[0015] Preferably, the test scale lines are set at an angle;

[0016] The specified configuration is a configuration in which the test object is placed in the second detection chamber at a position corresponding to the test scale line along the inclined direction of the test scale line, and the two opposite ends of the test object are respectively in contact with the corresponding cavity wall in the second detection chamber.

[0017] Preferably, there are multiple second detection units, and the shape and / or size of the second detection chamber of each second detection unit are different. The shape and size of the multiple first detection chambers correspond to and match the shape and size of multiple storage pipes in the material conveying device.

[0018] Preferably, the detection part is a groove formed on the template body, and the inner cavity of the groove forms the detection chamber.

[0019] Preferably, the object to be tested is a screw, the material conveying device is a nail feeder, and the first conveying pipe includes a pipe body with a bend and a feeding nozzle located at one end of the pipe body.

[0020] Preferably, the object to be tested is a screw, the material conveying device is a nail feeder, and the designated part of the object to be tested is the top cap of the screw.

[0021] Based on the disclosure of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention include simple structure and easy preparation. By setting a template body and a detection part with a detection chamber on the template body, and then placing the object to be tested in the detection chamber, as long as the object to be tested can be smoothly moved to the target position in the detection chamber based on external force, the minimum size specification and model of the conveying pipe suitable for conveying the object to be tested can be quickly determined. At this time, the staff can easily determine the usable conveying pipe based on the detection results. The whole process is fast and efficient, and no calculation is required from the staff. Even personnel without professional surveying and calculation knowledge can accurately determine the suitable conveying pipe, thus greatly improving the nail feeding efficiency and reducing the material blockage caused by calculation errors.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but these are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0026] It should be understood that various modifications can be made to the embodiments disclosed herein. Therefore, the following description should not be considered as limiting, but merely as an example of embodiments. Other modifications within the scope and spirit of this disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0027] The accompanying drawings, which are included in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure and, together with the general description of the disclosure given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.

[0028] These and other features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred forms of embodiments given as non-limiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should also be understood that although the invention has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art can certainly implement many other equivalent forms of the invention, which have the features described in the claims and are therefore all within the scope of protection defined herein.

[0030] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of this disclosure will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and in view of the following detailed description.

[0031] Specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described thereafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present disclosure and can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that could obscure the present disclosure. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely to serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present disclosure in a variety of substantially any suitable detailed structures.

[0032] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in still another embodiment,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this disclosure.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a detection template, comprising:

[0035] Template body 1;

[0036] The detection unit is mounted on the template body 1 and has a detection chamber.

[0037] When the object to be tested can be placed into the detection chamber and can slide smoothly relative to it to the target position within the detection chamber, it indicates that the object to be tested can be smoothly transported by the designated conveying pipe in the material conveying device. The shape and size of the designated conveying pipe correspond to and match the shape and size of the detection chamber. The size of the designated conveying pipe is the minimum size that can smoothly transport the object to be tested.

[0038] In other words, during implementation, staff only need to place the object to be tested inside the testing chamber and push it. If the object can be placed inside the testing chamber and moved relative to it to the target position within the chamber (the specific position is not fixed and depends on the actual dimensions of the testing chamber), it indicates that the transport pipe corresponding to the shape and size specifications of the testing chamber is the designated transport pipe, capable of successfully transporting the object without blockage. The dimensions of this designated transport pipe are the minimum dimensions required for successful transport of the object.

[0039] Based on the disclosure of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the beneficial effects of this embodiment include a simple overall structure of the detection template, which is easy to manufacture, for example, it can be manufactured by 3D printing technology, or by machining, injection molding, etc. In this embodiment, by setting a template body 1 and a detection part with a detection chamber on the template body 1, and then placing the object to be tested in the detection chamber, as long as the object to be tested can move smoothly to the target position in the detection chamber based on external force, the minimum size and type of the conveying pipe suitable for conveying the object to be tested can be quickly determined. At this time, the staff can easily determine the usable conveying pipe based on the obtained detection results. The whole process is fast and efficient, without requiring any calculations from the staff. Even personnel without professional surveying and calculation knowledge can accurately determine the suitable conveying pipe, thus greatly improving the nail feeding efficiency and reducing material blockage caused by calculation errors.

[0040] Continue to combine Figure 1 In this embodiment, the conveying pipeline includes a material conveying pipeline, and the detection unit includes:

[0041] The first detection unit 3 has a first detection chamber;

[0042] When the object to be tested can be placed into the first detection chamber and can slide smoothly relative to it to the target position within the first detection chamber, it indicates that the object to be tested can be smoothly transported by the first conveying pipe in the material conveying device. The shape and size specifications of the first conveying pipe correspond to and match the first detection chamber.

[0043] Preferably, in order to improve detection efficiency and increase detection coverage, there are multiple first detection units 3 in this embodiment. The shape and / or size of the first detection chamber of each first detection unit 3 are different. The shape and size of the multiple first detection chambers correspond to and match the shape and size of multiple material conveying pipes in the material conveying device.

[0044] For example, multiple first detection chambers may have the same shape but different dimensions, or multiple first detection chambers may have different shapes and dimensions. The specific dimensions can be determined based on the shape and dimensions of each type of conveying pipe in the actual conveying device, as long as there is a corresponding first detection chamber for the smallest dimension of each type of conveying pipe. That is, each type of conveying pipe can contain multiple conveying pipes with the same shape but different dimensions, and the conveying pipe with the smallest dimension has a corresponding first detection chamber. To facilitate quick determination of the dimensions of the first detection chambers by staff, the dimensions of each first detection part 3 can be pre-recorded or etched on the template body 1 at the corresponding location of each first detection part 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the conveying pipeline in this embodiment also includes a storage pipeline, and the detection unit further includes:

[0046] The second detection unit 2 has a second detection chamber and a test scale line 4 located at least partially within the second detection chamber;

[0047] When the test object can be placed into the second detection chamber in a specified form and the specified part of the test object does not exceed the test scale line 4, it indicates that the test object can move smoothly in the second detection chamber and the first storage pipe in the material conveying device, wherein the shape and size specifications of the first storage pipe correspond to and match the second detection chamber.

[0048] Specifically, continue to combine Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the test scale line 4 is inclined on the template body 1 and part of it is located in the second detection chamber;

[0049] The specified configuration is that the test object is placed in the second detection chamber at the position corresponding to the test scale line 4 along the inclined direction of the test scale line 4, and the two opposite ends of the test object are respectively in contact with the corresponding cavity wall in the second detection chamber.

[0050] For example, the object to be tested is a screw, the material conveying device is a screw feeder, and the designated part of the object to be tested is the top cap of the screw. The screw is placed into the second detection chamber along the inclined direction of test scale line 4, corresponding to the position within the second detection chamber where test scale line 4 is located. Simultaneously, the ends of the screw cap and stud are respectively in contact with the corresponding walls of the second detection chamber. This is the designated state required for the test. If, at this point, the screw cap partially protrudes from the test scale line 4 within the second detection chamber, it indicates that the screw cannot move to the target position within the second detection chamber, or even cannot move at all. Therefore, the storage pipe matching the shape and size specifications of the second detection chamber cannot store and convey the screw, resulting in a screw jamming phenomenon. Conversely, if the nuts do not protrude from the test scale line 4 located in the second detection chamber, it indicates that the storage pipe that matches the shape and size of the second detection chamber can store and transport the screw. Moreover, the storage pipe of this specification is the smallest specification storage pipe that can transport the screw. Therefore, as long as the storage pipe is not smaller than this specification, the storage and transport of the screw can be realized.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are also multiple second detection units 2, and the shape and / or size specifications of the second detection chamber of each second detection unit 2 are different. The shape and size specifications of the multiple second detection chambers correspond to and match the shape and size specifications of multiple storage pipes in the material conveying device.

[0052] For example, multiple second detection chambers may have the same shape but different dimensions, or multiple second detection chambers may have different shapes and dimensions. The specific design can be determined based on the shape and dimensions of each type of storage pipe in the actual conveying device, as long as each type of storage pipe has a corresponding second detection chamber matching its smallest dimension. In other words, each type of storage pipe can contain multiple storage pipes with the same shape but different dimensions, and the storage pipe with the smallest dimension has a corresponding second detection chamber matching its shape and dimensions.

[0053] Continuing with the example of screws as the test object and a nail feeder as the material conveying device, since the nail feeder includes both a storage pipe and a conveying pipe, these two types of pipes are usually combined into a conveying system to facilitate the conveying of screws. Therefore, the template body 1 can be equipped with a first detection unit 3 and a second detection unit 2, respectively matching the specifications of the corresponding storage pipe and conveying pipe in the nail feeder. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 The structure shown is designed to allow staff to directly determine a suitable conveying system based on test results, thereby further improving nail feeding efficiency.

[0054] In practice, each detection section can be a groove formed on the template body 1, with the inner cavity of the groove forming a detection chamber. For example, the first conveying pipe includes a pipe body with a bend and a feeding nozzle located at one end of the pipe body. Therefore, the groove shape of the detection section corresponding to the first conveying pipe also needs to have areas corresponding to the pipe body and the feeding nozzle, respectively. If the first storage pipe is just a regular straight pipe body, then the groove of the corresponding detection section only needs to be a strip-shaped groove with a width matching the inner diameter of the pipe body.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within its spirit and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
