Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ion concentration ratio detection technology, specifically to a detection device. Background Technology

[0002] During the workpiece processing, the workpiece is usually dyed. During the dyeing process, the operator immerses the workpiece in a tank containing different dye solutions for coloring. After the dye solution is used repeatedly, the concentration ratio of each single color dye in the dye solution will change. In order to keep the concentration ratio of each single color dye in the dye solution within the specified range, it is necessary to monitor and detect the concentration ratio of each single color dye in the dye solution in real time.

[0003] However, in the current method, in order to ensure that the dye solution in each tank meets the production requirements, a detector is installed on one side of each tank, which results in high equipment costs in production. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0054] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a detection device 100 in some embodiments. The detection device 100 is used to detect the concentration ratio of each solute in a liquid. In this embodiment, the liquid is a dye solution, the solutes are various monochromatic dyes, and the dye solution is a liquid mixed with multiple dyes. In order to ensure that the dyeing result of each workpiece meets the requirements, it is necessary to detect the concentration ratio of each monochromatic dye in the dye solution in real time so that the concentration ratio of each monochromatic dye is kept within the specified range.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The detection device 100 includes a detector 10, a support 20, a detection frame 30, a pushing mechanism 40, and a transfer mechanism 50. The detector 10 is used to detect the concentration ratio of each monochromatic dye in the dye liquor. The detector 10 is provided with a detection port 11. When the dye liquor is being tested, the sample of the dye liquor only needs to be placed at the detection port 11.

[0057] The support 20 is positioned opposite to the detector 10. The support 20 has multiple through holes 21 arranged side-by-side. In this embodiment, there are three through holes 21, and each through hole 21 is rectangular. In other embodiments, the number of through holes 21 may be more or less. Specifically, the three through holes 21 are arranged along a first direction. In this embodiment, the detection device 100 also includes a base 60, which is rectangular. The support 20 and the detector 10 are mounted on the base 60. Understandably, the first direction is... Figure 1 The X-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system in the diagram.

[0058] The number of test racks 30 is equal to the number of through holes 21. A test rack 30 is slidably disposed in each through hole 21. The test rack 30 is used to place a fixture 200. The fixture 200 contains a sample of dye solution. The fixture 200 in each test rack 30 is used to hold samples of different dye solutions. In this embodiment, the fixture 200 is specifically a cuvette.

[0059] The pushing mechanism 40 is mounted on the base 60 and located on the side of the bracket 20 away from the detector 10. The pushing mechanism 40 is used to drive the three detector frames 30 to move so that the detector frames 30 enter the detector port 11, thereby enabling the detector 10 to perform detection.

[0060] The transfer mechanism 50 is mounted on the base 60 and connected to the bracket 20. It is used to drive the bracket 20 to move along the first direction so that the three detection frames 30 are aligned with the detection port 11 in sequence. It also works with the pushing mechanism 40 to allow the multiple detection frames 30 to enter the detection port 11 in sequence for detection.

[0061] Thus, since three testing racks 30 are slidably mounted on the support 20, and each testing rack 30 can hold different dye liquor samples, when the operator starts the testing device 100, the pushing mechanism 40 and the transfer mechanism 50 automatically operate and cooperate with each other to sequentially test the dye liquor samples in the three testing racks 30. Because the testing device 100 can test multiple different dye liquors using only one detector 10, it helps reduce the number of detectors 10 used, thereby saving equipment costs. Furthermore, during the testing process, the testing device 100 can automatically drive the support 20 to move and automatically drive the testing racks 30 into the testing port 11, eliminating the need for manual operation and achieving automated testing, thus reducing the labor intensity of the operators.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the bracket 20 is provided with limiting members 22, and the number of limiting members 22 is equal to the number of through holes 21. In this embodiment, there are three limiting members 22, and one limiting member 22 is provided at each through hole 21. One end of the limiting member 22 protrudes from the end of the through hole 21 away from the detector 10. When the pushing mechanism 40 drives the detector 30 away from the detector port 11, the detector 30 will abut against the limiting member 22. At this time, the limiting member 22 limits the detector 30 so that the detector 30 will not slide out of the through hole 21.

[0063] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the testing frame 30 is provided with a rectangular mounting groove 31, and the fixture 200 is placed in the mounting groove 31. In this embodiment, the side of the testing frame 30 is provided with a mounting hole 32 for inserting a bolt. When the fixture 200 is placed in the mounting groove 31, the bolt is tightened to make the bolt abut against the fixture 200, and the fixture 200 is pressed against the groove wall of the mounting groove 31, thereby fixing the fixture 200. The testing frame 30 is also provided with a testing hole 33, which is located on the same side as the mounting hole 32. During the testing process of the testing instrument 10, the testing instrument 10 emits light, which passes through the testing hole 33 and illuminates the fixture 200.

[0064] Different dye solutions produce different shades of color. Therefore, when using gauge 200, different sizes and specifications of gauge 200 need to be selected to hold different dye solutions. The bolt fixing method has high versatility. During the fixing process, regardless of the size of gauge 200 selected, the bolt can abut against the gauge 200 and achieve the fixing of the gauge 200.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 40 includes a pushing drive 41 and a connecting assembly 42. The connecting assembly 42 is connected to the pushing drive 41, which is disposed on the base 60 and located on the side of the support 20 away from the detector 10. When the dye solution is being tested, the pushing drive 41 moves the connecting assembly 42 closer to the detection frame 30, so that the connecting assembly 42 engages with the detection frame 30, and under the drive of the pushing drive 41, moves the detection frame 30 toward the detector 10, so that the gauge 200 on the detection frame 30 enters the detection port 11. After the test is completed, under the drive of the pushing drive 41, the connecting assembly 42 moves the detection frame 30 away from the detection port 11 and releases the engagement with the detection frame 30.

[0066] Thus, since the connecting component 42 can connect to and disconnect from the detection frame 30 during the process before and after dye liquor detection, multiple detection frames 30 can be connected sequentially by the connecting component 42. By pushing different detection frames 30 into the detection port 11, different dye liquors can be detected. The detection device 100 only needs to set one pushing mechanism 40 to simultaneously detect multiple dye liquors, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the detection device 100. In this embodiment, the pushing drive component 41 can be a cylinder or a linear motor module, etc.

[0067] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 42 includes a connecting drive 421 and two connecting members 422. The connecting drive 421 is connected to the pushing drive 41. In this embodiment, the output end of the pushing drive 41 is connected to a support 43, and the connecting drive 421 is mounted on the support 43. The two connecting members 422 are connected to the connecting drive 421. Under the drive of the connecting drive 421, the two connecting members 422 approach the detection frame 30 and engage with the detection frame 30, thereby enabling the pushing drive 41 to drive the detection frame 30 to move. Since there are two connecting members 422, under the drive of the connecting drive 421, the two connecting members 422 simultaneously abut against the detection frame 30 and engage with the detection frame 30. Compared with using one connecting member 422, the connection between the two connecting members 422 and the detection frame 30 is more stable. The connecting drive 421 is a gripper cylinder, or it can be other mechanisms capable of reciprocating motion.

[0068] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a connecting plate 34 protrudes from the detection frame 30, parallel to the direction of movement of the detection frame 30. Grooves 341 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 34 near the end of the connector 422. Rectangular engaging portions 4221 protrude from the opposite sides of the two connectors 422, fitting into the grooves 341, with each of the two engaging portions 4221 corresponding to one of the two grooves 341. When the connecting drive 421 drives the two connectors 422 closer to the connecting plate 34, the engaging portions 4221 insert into the corresponding grooves 341, thus establishing a engaging relationship between the connectors 422 and the detection frame 30. When the connecting drive 421 drives the connectors 422 away from the connecting plate 34, the engaging relationship between the connectors 422 and the detection frame 30 is released.

[0069] Thus, since the connector 422 and the inspection frame 30 are connected by a rectangular snap-fit ​​part 4221 and a groove 341, the structure of the snap-fit ​​part 4221 and the groove 341 is simple, easy for operators to process, and helps to reduce manufacturing difficulty.

[0070] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 50 includes a transfer drive 51 and a transfer assembly 52. ​​The transfer drive 51 is disposed on the base 60 and located on one side of the bracket 20. The transfer assembly 52 is connected to the transfer drive 51 and the bracket 20 is connected to the transfer assembly 52. ​​When the transfer drive 51 drives the transfer assembly 52 to move, the transfer assembly 52 drives the bracket 20 to move along a first direction, thereby aligning the multiple detection frames 30 on the bracket 20 sequentially with the detection ports 11 to realize the detection of multiple dye solutions.

[0071] Thus, with the transfer mechanism 50 in place, the detection device 100 can automatically replace the dye sample to be tested without manual operation, thereby reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the detection device 100 only needs to set up one detector 10 to detect multiple dyes, thereby reducing the number of detectors 10 used and reducing equipment costs.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 52 includes a carriage 521 and a lead screw 522. The carriage 521 is disposed on the base 60, and the carriage 521 has a cuboid structure and is arranged along a first direction. A slider 5211 is slidably disposed on the carriage 521. The lead screw 522 is rotatably connected to the carriage 521, and one end of the lead screw 522 is connected to the transfer drive member 51, which is used to drive the lead screw 522 to rotate.

[0073] The bracket 20 is connected to the slider 5211, and the lead screw 522 and the slider 5211 are threadedly connected. When the transfer drive 51 drives the lead screw 522 to rotate, the lead screw 522 and the slider 5211 rotate relative to each other. At this time, the lead screw 522 drives the slider 5211 to slide along the slide 521, thereby causing the bracket 20 to drive multiple detection frames 30 to align sequentially with the detection port 11. The transfer drive 51 can be a servo motor or other output rotation mechanism, and the transfer mechanism 50 can be a lead screw slide table different from that in this embodiment.

[0074] Please see Figure 1In some embodiments, the slide 521 is equipped with multiple sensors 70. In this embodiment, there are three sensors 70, which are spaced apart along the first direction. The three sensors 70 correspond one-to-one with the three detection frames 30, that is, the three sensors 70 control the position of the three detection frames 30. The support 20 is equipped with a sensing plate 23. For example, when the support 20 moves along the first direction, the sensing plate 23 will move with the support 20. When the sensing plate 23 moves to the middle sensor 70, the sensor 70 senses the sensing plate 23 and sends a signal to the controller of the peripheral device (not shown). The controller is used to realize the automated operation of the detection device 100. At this time, the controller controls the transfer drive 51 to stop working so that the support 20 stops moving. At this time, the middle detection frame 30 stops at the detection port 11.

[0075] The operation of the detection device 100 provided in some embodiments is roughly as follows:

[0076] During testing, when the connecting drive 421 drives the two connecting pieces 422 closer to the connecting plate 34, the snap-fit ​​part 4221 will insert into the corresponding groove 341, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​relationship between the connecting piece 422 and the detection frame 30; then, the pushing drive 41 drives the connecting assembly 42 closer to the detector 10, so as to drive the detection frame 30 into the detection port 11, so that the dye solution can be detected by the detector 10; after the test is completed, the pushing drive 41 drives the connecting assembly 42 to move away from the detector 10, so as to drive the detection frame 30 out of the detection port 11, and then the connecting drive 421 drives the connecting piece 422... When moving away from the connecting plate 34, the connection between the connector 422 and the detection frame 30 is released. Then, the transfer drive 51 drives the lead screw 522 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 5211 to move. The slider 5211 drives the bracket 20 to move, so that the next detection frame 30 moves to the detection port 11. When the sensor 70 senses the sensing plate 23, the controller will control the transfer drive 51 to stop, thereby stopping the bracket 20 and causing the next detection frame 30 to stop at the detection port 11. Finally, the above-mentioned pushing mechanism movement 40 is repeated to send the next detection frame 30 into the detection port 11.

[0077] The detection device 100 provided in this application embodiment has multiple detection racks 30 set on the support 20. Each detection rack 30 can hold different dye liquor samples. When the operator starts the detection device 100, the pushing mechanism 40 and the transfer mechanism 50 operate automatically and cooperate with each other to detect the dye liquor in the three detection racks 30 in sequence. Since the detection device 100 can detect multiple different dye liquors by using a single detector 10, it helps to reduce the number of detectors 10 used, thereby saving equipment costs. During the detection process, the detection device 100 can operate automatically without manual operation, which not only has a high degree of automation, but also reduces the labor intensity of the operators. In addition, the detection device 100 uses a sensor 70 and a sensing plate 23 to position the detection racks 30, so that the detection racks 30 stop at the detection port 11.

[0078] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced within this application.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
