For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] For the purpose of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are mainly described by referring to examples. In the following description, many specific details are presented to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it is obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments can not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some examples, well-known methods and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessarily complicating the embodiments. In addition, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other. EMBODIMENTS

[0030] As Figures 1-3As shown, a posture adjusting device comprises a transmission mechanism 1 arranged on a plane, the transmission mechanism 1 further comprises a horizontal transmission belt 11 arranged on the transmission mechanism 1, and a rotating shaft 1 2 arranged in the horizontal transmission belt 11 and driving the horizontal transmission belt 11 to move; a mechanism 2 further comprises an adjusting mechanism 21 arranged above the transmission mechanism and used for adjusting the posture skew, and a rotating shaft 2 2 arranged above the horizontal transmission belt 11 and driving the adjusting mechanism 21 to move; and a sensor 4 detecting whether there is an article passing through.

[0031] The adjusting mechanism 21 can be arranged as a baffle 211. During the pipeline production process, when the rotating shaft 1 2 starts to rotate to drive the horizontal transmission belt 11 to move and transport the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 to pass through the mechanism 2, the baffle 211 on the mechanism 2 is in a lifted state, and the big head of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 can smoothly pass through the mechanism 2. After the sensor 4 detects that the big head of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 passes through the mechanism 2, the rotating shaft 2 2 will rotate to drive the baffle 211 on the mechanism 2 to be lowered. The baffle 211 has a gap with the same size as the I-beam of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3, which can clamp the I-beam of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3. Because the baffle 211 on the mechanism 2 has a certain angle with the horizontal transmission belt 11, the small head of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 can also be limited within a certain range, so that the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 cannot exceed the specified range and is prevented from jumping up during adjustment. When the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 continues to pass through the mechanism 2, the body of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 is limited by the baffle 211, and the small head of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 will move towards the middle with the movement. The posture skew of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 is automatically adjusted to a flat posture. After the adjustment is completed and the sensor 4 does not detect the to-be-tested connecting rod 3, the rotating shaft 2 2 will drive the baffle 211 to be lifted to wait for the next to-be-tested connecting rod 3.

[0032] The sensor 4 can use an infrared sensor 4 or a laser sensor 4, etc. The rotating shaft 1 2 can adjust the transmission rate to match the speed at which the baffle 211 is lowered to ensure that the I-beam of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 can be accurately clamped. The gap between the baffles 211 can be adjusted to adapt to the size of the I-beam of different to-be-tested connecting rods 3. The baffle 211 is composed of two parts, and a spring 2111 is arranged between the two parts to adapt to the size of the I-beam of different to-be-tested connecting rods 3, and can buffer the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 when the horizontal transmission belt 11 shakes, preventing the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 from being affected by the shaking of the horizontal transmission belt 11 and causing posture skew.

[0033] The gap between the baffles 211 is provided with an elastic rubber 2112, and the inner side of the elastic rubber 2112 has inclined teeth in a stepped shape, which can constrain the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 when the horizontal transmission belt 11 is unstable, so that the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 cannot deviate and move randomly. When the small head of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 passes, it will pass through the inclined teeth one by one to finely adjust the to-be-tested connecting rod 3, so that the posture of the to-be-tested connecting rod 3 is further adjusted. Example

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, a posture adjustment device includes: a transmission mechanism 1, which is disposed on a plane and further includes: a horizontal transmission belt 11, which is disposed on the transmission mechanism 1; a first rotating shaft 12, which is disposed inside the horizontal transmission belt 11 and drives the horizontal transmission belt 11 to move; a mechanism 2, which further includes: an adjustment mechanism 21, which is disposed above the transmission mechanism 1 and is used to adjust the posture tilt; a second rotating shaft 22, which is disposed above the horizontal transmission belt 11 and drives the adjustment mechanism 21 to move; and a sensor 4, which detects whether an object passes by.

[0035] The adjustment mechanism 21 can also be configured as a gripper 212. During assembly line production, when the rotating shaft 12 starts to rotate, driving the horizontal conveyor belt 11 to move and transport the connecting rod 3 to be tested past the mechanism 2, the sensor 4 detects the large end of the connecting rod 3, the horizontal conveyor belt 11 stops, the rotating shaft 22 rotates, and drives the gripper 212 on the mechanism 2 to lower, clamping the I-beam of the connecting rod 3, forcing the connecting rod 3 to adjust its posture to a straight position; the distance between the grippers 212 can be adjusted. The joint is adapted to different connecting rods 3 to be tested; the inner side of the gripper 212 is provided with elastic rubber 2112 to prevent slippage when clamping the connecting rod 3 to be tested, and will not cause damage to its surface; the rotating shaft 22 is provided with two rotating shafts, which can freely adjust the angle at which the gripper 212 clamps the connecting rod 3 to be tested; after the connecting rod 3 to be tested is adjusted to a straight posture, the gripper 212 is released; the horizontal transmission belt 11 continues to transport, and when the sensor 4 can no longer detect the connecting rod 3 to be tested, the rotating shaft 22 drives the gripper 212 to lift up. Example

[0036] An attitude adjustment method includes the following steps:

[0037] During testing, the rotating shaft 12 drives the horizontal transmission belt 11 to transport the connecting rod 3 to be tested. When the sensor 4 detects that the big end of the connecting rod 3 to be tested has passed, the rotating shaft 22 drives the adjustment mechanism 21 to be lowered.

[0038] Adjustment: The rotating shaft 22 drives the adjustment mechanism 21 to lower and clamp the I-beam of the connecting rod 3 to be tested, and also restrict the small end of the connecting rod 3 to be tested within a certain tilt range; when the connecting rod 3 to be tested continues to pass, due to the restriction of the adjustment mechanism 21, the small end of the connecting rod 3 to be tested will move towards the middle; the connecting rod 3 to be tested, which was originally tilted, will be automatically adjusted to a straight posture.

[0039] When the connecting rod 3 is through, the sensor 4 does not detect the connecting rod 3, and the adjusting mechanism 21 is automatically lifted to reset and wait for the next connecting rod 3 under the drive of the second rotating shaft 22.

[0040] Although the foregoing describes the specific embodiments of the present application in detail, so that those skilled in the art can understand the present application, the present application is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments, and all the application creations utilizing the concept of the present application are within the protection of the present application as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present application defined and determined by the appended claims.
