Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gear detection, and in particular, to a gear detection device and method, a gear containing component, and a gear loading and unloading device. Background Art

[0002] At present, gears are increasingly used in many industries. For example, in automotive gear shifting devices, industrial reduction gearboxes and other scenarios, gears are often used as devices for transmitting mechanical power. In oscillating devices such as mechanical watches and electric fans, gears can change the direction of movement. In various types of speed change mechanisms, the mechanical structure of gears can be used to modulate speed and torque.

[0003] However, gears may have many defects, such as black skin, bumps or scratches on the gears, which greatly reduce the effectiveness of the gears. Therefore, in order to strictly monitor the quality of the gears, it is often necessary to detect the defects of the gears.

[0004] At present, when it is necessary to detect gear defects, manual detection is generally used; or a simple detection mechanism is used for detection. Manual detection is not only inefficient, but also prone to missed detection and wrong detection; and when the existing mechanical structure is detected, the gear detection efficiency is often low due to the structural defects of the detection device, and the detection accuracy is not high. Summary of the invention

The gear containing component provided in the embodiments of the present application can clamp and fix the target gear through a first clamping and rotating module and a second clamping and rotating module, thereby conveniently and quickly fixing the target gear, providing a basis for gear detection. The gear detection device provided in the embodiments of the present application includes a rotating component, a gear detection component and a gear containing component. The rotation of the rotating component can realize the movement of the gear containing component, and drive the gear containing component to move to different detection stations to detect the target gear. When the target gear is detected by the gear detection device provided by the present application, the efficiency of gear detection can be improved.

[0006] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a gear accommodating component, which includes a first clamping and rotating module and a second clamping and rotating module; the first clamping and rotating module and the second clamping and rotating module are arranged opposite to each other; the first clamping and rotating module includes a fixed platform; the second clamping and rotating module includes a fixing mechanism; the fixing mechanism has a fixed state and a released state; the fixed platform is configured to be connected to the first end face of the gear and abut the first end face to support the gear; the fixing mechanism is configured to abut the second end face of the gear in the fixed state to fix the gear between the fixed platform and the fixing mechanism; one of the fixing mechanism and the fixed platform is also configured to receive the rotational drive of the rotational drive component to drive the gear fixed between the fixed platform and the fixing mechanism to rotate.

[0007] In the above implementation process, the gear accommodating member can fix or release the gear through the cooperation of the first clamping and rotating module and the second clamping and rotating module. When the fixed platform abuts against the first end face of the gear, and the fixing mechanism abuts against the second end face of the gear, the fixed state of the gear can be achieved; when the fixing mechanism is away from the gear, the release of the target gear can be achieved. When the gear accommodating member provided in the embodiment of the present application cooperates with the rotational drive member, the gear accommodating member receives the rotational drive of the rotational drive member, and can drive the gear fixed between the fixed platform and the fixing mechanism to rotate. The gear accommodating mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only achieve stable fixation of the gear and release of the gear, but also can rotate the fixed gear when cooperating with the rotational drive member (for example, uniform rotation), so that the gear can be efficiently detected in cooperation with the gear detection member or device.

[0064] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0065] During the research process, the applicant found that in addition to manual inspection, there are also some gear inspection devices for gear quality inspection; manual inspection methods often have problems such as false detection and missed detection; existing gear inspection devices can generally only inspect a single gear and cannot inspect multiple gears at the same time, and there are defects in the mechanical structure, resulting in low detection efficiency.

[0066] Based on this, the gear containing component provided in the embodiment of the present application can fix the target gear through the cooperation of the first clamping and rotating module and the second clamping and rotating module, which provides a basis for the detection of the gear. The gear detection device provided in the embodiment of the present application can move the target gear to different stations for detection or cleaning through the cooperation of the gear containing component, the rotating drive module and the rotating mechanism; the rotating mechanism can include multiple stations, thereby greatly improving the detection efficiency of the target gear.

[0067] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The first stereoscopic schematic diagram of the gear containing member 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application; the gear containing member 1000 includes: a first clamping and rotating module 1200 and a second clamping and rotating module 1400; the first clamping and rotating module 1200 and the second clamping and rotating module 1400 are arranged opposite to each other. The first clamping and rotating module 1200 includes a fixing platform 1220; the second clamping and rotating module 1400 includes a fixing mechanism 1410; the fixing mechanism 1410 has a fixing state and a releasing state.

[0068] The fixing platform 1220 is configured to be connected to the first end surface of the gear and abut the first end surface to support the gear; the fixing mechanism 1410 is configured to abut the second end surface of the gear in the fixed state to fix the gear between the fixing platform 1220 and the fixing mechanism 1410.

[0069] One of the fixing mechanism 1410 and the fixing platform 1220 is further configured to receive the rotational drive of the rotation driving member 4000 to drive the gear fixed between the fixing platform 1220 and the fixing mechanism 1410 to rotate.

[0070] pass Figure 1It can be known that the gear containing member 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve the fixing or releasing of the gear through the cooperation of the first clamping and rotating module 1200 and the second clamping and rotating module 1400. When the fixed platform 1220 abuts against the first end face of the gear, and the fixing mechanism 1410 abuts against the second end face of the gear, the fixed state of the gear can be achieved; when the fixing mechanism 1410 is away from the gear, the release of the target gear can be achieved. When the gear containing member 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application cooperates with the rotation drive member 4000, the gear containing member 1000 receives the rotation drive of the rotation drive member 4000, and can drive the gear fixed between the fixed platform 1220 and the fixing mechanism 1410 to rotate. The gear containing mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only achieve the stable fixing of the gear and the release of the gear, but also can cooperate with the rotation drive member 4000 to control the gear fixed in the gear containing member 100 to rotate, so that the gear can be detected efficiently.

[0071] It is worth noting that Figure 1 In addition to the gear containing member 1000, some mechanical structures or components used in conjunction with the gear containing member 1000 are also shown, such as the rotation driving member 4000. However, these mechanical structures or components are only intended to exemplarily disclose an application scenario of the gear containing member 1000 to those skilled in the art, rather than indicating that these mechanical structures or components are part of the gear containing member 1000 or must be used in conjunction with the gear containing member 1000. The specific application scenario of the gear containing member 1000 of the present application and the mechanical structure and layout used therewith are not specifically limited.

[0072] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a second stereoscopic schematic diagram of the gear containing component 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application; the gear containing component 1000 also includes a gear containing element 1600 .

[0073] The gear receiving element 1600 includes a first end surface and a second end surface that are oppositely disposed. The first end surface includes a first through hole 1620 , and the second end surface includes a second through hole 1640 . The first clamping and rotating module 1200 also includes a fixed shaft 1222 ; the fixing mechanism 1410 includes a fixed shaft core 1412 and a fixed clamping claw 1414 .

[0074] The fixed shaft 1222 is configured to pass through the first through hole 1620 and abut against the lower surface of the fixed platform 1220 when in the fixed state. The fixed shaft core 1412 passes through the second through hole 1640 and is connected to the fixed clamping claw 1414. The fixed clamping claw 1414 is configured to receive the force applied by the fixed shaft core 1412 to the second end face of the gear when the fixing mechanism 1410 is in the fixed state, so as to abut against the second end face of the gear.

[0075] It should be noted that the gear accommodating element 1600 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be a bow-shaped frame with through holes at both ends. By using the bow-shaped frame, due to the weight of the bow-shaped frame itself, the gear accommodating member 1000 and the gears accommodated in the gear accommodating member 1000 can be further stabilized. In addition, when loading and unloading (a mechanical arm or other mechanical device installs the gear to the gear accommodating member 1000 or removes the gear from the gear accommodating member 1000), the bow-shaped frame can further prevent the gear from tipping over and falling due to improper installation, and can further avoid accidents when using the gear accommodating member 1000. The present application takes the bow-shaped frame as an example, but other elements that can play a fixing role can also be specifically applied as the gear accommodating element 1600. Those skilled in the art should know that the bow-shaped frame should not be a limitation of the gear accommodating element in the embodiment of the present application.

[0076] pass Figure 2 It can be seen that the gear accommodating element 1600 of the gear accommodating component 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application has two end faces, the first end face has a first hole, and the second end face has a second hole; the fixed shaft 1222 of the first clamping rotation module 1200 passes through the first hole; the fixed claw 1414 of the fixing mechanism 1410 receives the force of the fixed shaft core 1412, and cooperates with the fixed platform 1220 to fix the gear, which is the basis for realizing gear detection; with the cooperation of the gear accommodating element 1600, the gear can be fixed more stably.

[0077] Please continue to see Figure 2 The fixed clamping jaw 1414 is configured to receive the force exerted by the fixed shaft core 1412 to move away from the second end face of the gear when in the released state, so as to move away from the second end face of the gear.

[0078] The fixed shaft core 1412 is configured to drive the fixed jaw 1414 to approach or move away from the second end surface of the gear to achieve a fixed state and a released state.

[0079] For example, Figure 2As shown, the top of the guide rod 1415 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a limiting portion, which can be used to cooperate with other components, such as "L"-shaped buckles, etc.; to achieve the pull-up or release of the guide rod 1415 of the second clamping and rotating module 1400; an automatic reset mechanism is provided in the bearing, and under the action of the above mechanism, when the guide rod has no upward pulling force, the guide rod 1415 can automatically reset downward, and after the guide rod 1415 resets downward, it can achieve a fixed state. Specifically, when the gear needs to be fixed, the two "L"-shaped buckles clamp the limiting portion at the top of the guide rod 1415 and move in the direction away from the fixed platform, and the manipulator places the gear on the fixed platform, and then the gear detection device 3000 rotates to drive the gear to enter the next process. Since the limiting portion is separated from the constraint of the "L"-shaped buckle, that is, the guide rod loses the upward pulling force, the guide rod automatically resets downward at this time to achieve the fixation of the gear. The automatic reset mechanism is not described in detail in this application, and can be implemented using existing technology, which is not a technical innovation of the present invention.

[0080] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the movement of the "L"-shaped buckle in the above manner can be realized by a cylinder or other power mechanism. Therefore, it can be understood that if the movement of the "L"-shaped buckle is realized by a cylinder, the cylinder is fixed and does not rotate with the gear detection device 3000; and when the cylinder does not indirectly provide a force to the guide rod, the guide rod is under the action of the automatic reset mechanism, and realizes the downward action on the fixed shaft core, thereby realizing the fixation of the gear.

[0081] Therefore, the fixed shaft core 1412 can apply a force to the fixed jaw 1414 to move the gear closer or further away to achieve a fixed state and a released state. Therefore, the gear containing member 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve a fixed state and a released state, and can smoothly fix and release the gear.

[0082] Please continue to see Figure 2 The fixed shaft 1222 of the gear receiving member 1000 includes a driving plane 1001 ; the fixing mechanism 1410 also includes a guide rod 1415 and a bearing 1430 .

[0083] The driving plane 1001 is disposed on the end of the fixed shaft 1222 away from the fixed platform 1220; the guide rod 1415 passes through the bearing 1430 and is connected to the fixed shaft core 1412. It should be noted that the driving plane 1001 is a rough plane; specifically, it can be a rubber plane or a plane with a twill pattern or a frosted plane, etc., which can generate friction force by rubbing against another rough plane.

[0084] The driving plane 1001 is configured to contact the rotation driving member 4000; the fixed shaft 1222 and the driving plane 1001 are configured to receive the drive of the rotation driving member 4000 through the driving plane 1001 when the fixing mechanism 1410 is in a fixed state, so as to drive the gear to rotate through the fixed shaft 1222. The bearing 1430 is configured to reduce the force that rotates the gear when the driving plane 1001 receives the drive of the rotation driving member 4000.

[0085] It can be seen that a driving plane 1001 is provided at the end of the fixed shaft 1222, and the guide rod 1415 penetrates the bearing 1430 and is connected to the fixed shaft core 1412; when the driving plane 1001 cooperates with the rotating driving member 4000, the friction generated between the planes can drive the gear to rotate by the driving force of the rotating driving member 4000, thereby realizing the detection of the gear. Due to the existence of the bearing 1430, the gear can rotate at a constant speed under a small power.

[0086] Please continue to see Figure 2 The accommodating cylinder 1416 is fixed to the second end surface along the direction close to the fixed clamping claw 1414, and accommodates the fixed shaft core 1412; the accommodating cylinder 1416 is configured to limit the movement of the fixed shaft core 1412 along the direction of the accommodating cylinder 1416 to achieve a fixed state and a released state.

[0087] Therefore, the fixing mechanism 1410 of the second clamping and rotating module 1400 of the gear containing member 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a containing cylinder 1416, and the containing cylinder 1416 is fixed to the second end face along the direction close to the fixed clamping claw 1414, so as to limit the movement direction of the fixed shaft core 1412 when the fixed shaft core 1412 moves close to or away from the gear, thereby accurately fixing or releasing the gear.

[0088] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a first structural schematic diagram of a gear detection device 3000 provided in an embodiment of the present application; the gear detection device 3000 includes: a rotating member 3200, a gear detection member 300, and a gear containing member 1000 provided in the first aspect of the present application.

[0089] The gear receiving member 1000 is fixedly mounted on the rotating member 3200; the rotating member 3200 includes a detection station 100. The rotating member 3200 is configured to move the gear receiving member 1000 to the detection station 100 by rotating around the center of the rotating member 3200; the gear detection member 300 is disposed near the detection station 100 and is configured to detect a target gear on the gear receiving member 1000 located at the detection station 100.

[0090] pass Figure 3It can be seen that the gear detection device 3000 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a rotating component 3200, a gear detection component 300 and a detection station 100. The rotating component 3200 can drive the gear located in the gear containing component 1000 to move to the target station; if the gear moves to the detection station 100, the gear can be detected in the detection station 100; thereby, the position of the gear to be detected can be flexibly controlled, greatly improving the gear detection efficiency.

[0091] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a second structural schematic diagram of the gear detection device 3000 provided in an embodiment of the present application; the rotating component 3200 of the gear detection device 3000 includes a rotating base 3220 and a rotating shaft 3240 .

[0092] The upper surface of the rotating base 3220 is fixedly connected to the first clamping rotating module 1200 of the gear containing member 1000, and is used to fix and support the gear containing member 1000; the rotating shaft 3240 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating base 3220, and is used to drive the rotating base 3220 to rotate based on the drive of the driving mechanism, so as to realize the movement of the gear containing member 1000 fixedly mounted on the rotating member 3200. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the driving mechanism is arranged below the rotating base 3220, and is used to drive the rotating base 3220 to rotate forward and reversely.

[0093] It should be noted that the rotating base 3220 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be of any shape as long as it can rotate at a constant speed around the center of the rotating base 3220; the embodiment of the present application takes a turntable and a quadrilateral as examples, but the turntable and quadrilateral in the embodiment of the present application cannot become a limitation of the rotating base 3220.

[0094] pass Figure 4 It can be seen that the rotating base 3220 in the rotating component 3200 can rotate at a constant speed around the center driven by the rotating shaft 3240; and the rotating component 3200 includes a detection station 100. When the rotating shaft 3240 drives the gear receiving component 1000 on the rotating base 3220 to rotate at a constant speed and the target gear in the gear receiving element moves to the detection station 100, the target gear is detected at the detection station 100, thereby realizing flexible control of the position of the target gear.

[0095] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a gear rotation driving component 4000 provided in an embodiment of the present application; the rotation driving component 4000 includes a driving module 4100 and a through core 4300 .

[0096] The rotational driving component 4000 penetrates the detection platform and is connected to the driving module 4100 in a direction away from the detection platform through the penetrating core 4300; the rotational driving component 4000 is used to drive the rotational driving component 4000 to contact the driving plane 1001 of the gear containing component 1000 based on the power provided by the driving module 4100, so as to realize the rotation of the target gear.

[0097] pass Figure 5 It can be seen that the driving module 4100 of the rotation driving member in the embodiment of the present application is located on the lower surface of the detection platform and is connected through the through core 4300. The rotation driving member 4000 can provide power to drive the rotation of the target gear when contacting the driving plane 1001, thereby smoothly realizing the detection of the target gear.

[0098] Please continue to see Figure 5 The rotation driving member 4000 further includes a rotation plane 1002 and a fixed cylinder 4500. The through core 4300 includes a boss 4310; the rotation plane 1002 is disposed at the end of the through core 4300 away from the detected platform and is used to contact the driving plane 1001 to realize the rotation of the gear.

[0099] It should be noted that the rotating plane 1002 is a rough plane; it can be a rubber plane, a plane with twill, or a frosted plane, etc., which can generate friction with another rough plane; in the embodiment of the present application, the rotating plane 1002 is parallel to the driving plane 1001. Through the contact between the two planes, under the drive of the driving module 4100, the friction force generated between the two planes can drive the gears in the gear accommodating mechanism to rotate at a uniform speed.

[0100] The boss 4310 is arranged on the through-core 4300 and is used to limit the moving distance of the through-core 4300 when the through-core 4300 moves in the direction close to the detection platform; the fixed cylinder 4500 is arranged on the outside of the through-core 4300, penetrates the detection platform, and is used to limit the reciprocating movement of the through-core 4300 along the direction of the fixed cylinder 4500.

[0101] Using relatively parallel rough planes for meshing, the driving module 4100 can be used to drive the rotating plane 1002 to move upward and mesh with the driving plane 1001; after successful meshing, the friction between the two rubber rough bottles and the planes can make the gears move at a constant speed. The friction can also be increased by increasing the cylinder pressure to achieve rapid meshing.

[0102] In the prior art, two multi-toothed claws are used to mesh to achieve the rotation of the gear; however, the tooth tops often collide with each other, resulting in meshing failure. The gear detection device 3000 provided in the embodiment of the present application uses the meshing of two rough surfaces to drive the target gear to rotate; it avoids the problem of the gears not being able to mesh due to the collision between the gears when the two multi-toothed claws are meshing during the current gear detection process.

[0103] pass Figure 5 It can be seen that a rotating plane 1002 is provided at the end of the through-core 4300. In one implementation, both the rotating plane and the driving plane are rough planes, so that after the rotating plane 1002 and the driving plane 1001 are adaptively contacted, the target gear can be driven to rotate based on the power of the driving module 4100, thereby realizing the rotation of the gear, and when the gear rotates, the fixed clamping claw and the guide rod above the gear rotate with the gear. In addition, a boss 4310 is provided on the through-core 4300. The presence of the boss 4310 can prevent the through-core 4300 from moving too much toward the detection platform, resulting in damage to the rotating plane 1002. The presence of the fixed cylinder 4500 can limit the movement direction of the through-core 4300, and realize accurate contact between the rotating plane 1002 and the driving plane 1001. Those skilled in the art can understand that the rotational drive mode of the gear in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: after the rotating plane 1002 contacts the driving plane 1001, the target gear is driven to rotate based on the power of the driving module 4100. Since the driving module 4100 will synchronously exert an upward jacking force, the close contact and synchronous movement of the rotating plane and the driving plane are ensured. In the prior art, meshing teeth can also be set, with the rotating meshing teeth being set in the direction close to the gear and the driving meshing teeth being set in the direction away from the gear. Through the mutual engagement of the rotating meshing teeth and the driving meshing teeth, the target gear can be driven to rotate based on the power of the driving module 4100.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, the gear detection component 300 includes a vision acquisition unit; the vision acquisition unit includes a line array camera and / or an area array camera, and is used to acquire an image of the target gear.

[0105] The visual acquisition unit provided in the embodiment of the present application can capture images of four areas of the sample gear to be inspected; the four inspection areas are respectively the upper and lower tooth surface areas of the gear, the tooth top area, the gear processing axis surface area and the upper and lower end surface areas of the gear tooth, and after the acquisition, the image is inspected through a deep learning algorithm; thereby detecting whether there is a problem with the quality of the gear.

[0106] In an optional embodiment, the gear detection device 3000 includes a plurality of gear containing members 1000; the plurality of gear containing members 1000 are all connected to the rotating member 3200 and are located on the plane where the rotating member 3200 is located, the spacing angle between two adjacent gear containing members 1000 is the same, and the distance between each gear containing member 1000 and the center of the rotating member 3200 is also the same.

[0107] It can be seen from this that the gear detection device 3000 provided in the embodiment of the present application can increase or decrease the number of target gears by increasing or decreasing the number of gear containing components 1000; when the gear detection device 3000 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes multiple gear containing components 1000, the spacing angles between each gear component are the same, and the distance between each gear containing component 1000 and the center of the rotating component 3200 is also the same; it can be ensured that the gear containing component 1000 rotates at a uniform speed on the rotating component 3200, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection data.

[0108] In an optional embodiment, the gear detection device 3000 further includes a gear cleaning component 400 ; and the rotating component 3200 further includes a cleaning station 200 .

[0109] The gear cleaning member 400 is disposed near the cleaning station 200 and is configured to clean the target gear in the gear receiving member 1000 when the rotating member 3200 drives the target gear to move to the cleaning station 200 .

[0110] It can be seen that in the cleaning station 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, foreign matter on the target gear can be cleaned, and the foreign matter cleaning operation includes but is not limited to degreasing and descaling. If the gear is cleaned before the gear detection, impurities on the gear surface or the surface to be detected can be removed, thereby improving the accuracy of the gear detection and avoiding the interference of impurities that affects the detection result.

[0111] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of three workstations provided in an embodiment of the present application; the rotating component 3200 includes a cleaning station 200, an inspection station 100 and a loading and unloading station 600.

[0112] The cleaning station 200 , the inspection station 100 , and the loading and unloading stations 600 are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating base 3220 at an angular interval of 120°.

[0113] The loading and unloading station 600 is configured to fix or release a target gear when the rotating member 3200 drives the gear receiving member 1000 to move to the loading and unloading station 600 .

[0114] The cleaning station 200 is configured such that when the rotating member 3200 drives the target gear to move to the cleaning station 200 , the cleaning member cleans the target gear located in the gear receiving member 1000 of the cleaning station 200 .

[0115] pass Figure 6 It can be seen that when the rotating component 3200 of the embodiment of the present application includes three stations, namely the cleaning station 200, the detection station 100 and the loading and unloading station 600, the angular interval between each station is 120°, and when in the upper and lower stations, the gear accommodating mechanism fixes or releases the target gear; in the cleaning station 200, the gear cleaning component 400 realizes the cleaning of the target gear; in the detection station 100, the gear detection component 300 realizes the detection of the target gear. The three stations can work at the same time without interfering with each other; thus, there can be up to three gears to be detected in the gear detection device 3000 at the same time, which can improve the efficiency of gear detection.

[0116] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of four workstations provided in an embodiment of the present application; the rotating component 3200 includes a loading station 700, a cleaning station 200, a detection station 100 and an unloading station 800.

[0117] The loading station 700 , the cleaning station 200 , the inspection station 100 and the unloading station 800 are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating base 3220 at an angular interval of 90°.

[0118] The loading station 700 is configured to fix the target gear when the rotating component 3200 drives the gear accommodating component 1000 to move to the loading station 700; the cleaning station 200 is configured to clean the target gear in the gear accommodating component 1000 located in the cleaning station 200 when the rotating component 3200 drives the target gear to move to the cleaning station 200; the unloading station 800 is configured to release the target gear when the rotating component 3200 drives the target gear to move to the unloading station 800.

[0119] pass Figure 7It can be seen that when the rotating component 3200 of the embodiment of the present application includes four stations, namely the cleaning station 200, the detection station 100, the loading station 700 and the unloading station 800, the angular interval between each station is 90°, when in the upper station, the gear accommodating mechanism fixes the target gear; in the cleaning station 200, the gear cleaning component 400 realizes the cleaning of the target gear; in the detection station 100, the gear detection component 300 realizes the detection of the target gear; in the unloading station 800, the gear accommodating mechanism realizes the release of the target gear. The four stations can work at the same time without interfering with each other; thus, there can be at most four gears to be detected in the gear detection device 3000 at the same time, which can improve the efficiency of gear detection.

[0120] from Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen from the illustrated embodiment that the gear detection device provided by the present application adopts a modular combination method and structural composition. Specifically, the gear containing member 1000, the gear cleaning member 400, the rotating member 3200, and the gear detection member 300 are all designed as separate or independent modules, and fixed interfaces and functional external interfaces are reserved, so that they can be further combined with other modules, members, and elements to form a gear detection device with different numbers of gear containing members, or with or without a gear cleaning member 400 and a rotating member 3200, so as to meet the specific customized needs of users and adapt to more application scenarios. In addition, the use of a modular design method can further reduce the cost of design and installation compared to an overall design, which is of progressive significance.

[0121] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a loading and unloading device 5000 provided in an embodiment of the present application; the loading and unloading device 5000 includes the gear containing member 1000, a fixing frame 5200 and a cylinder 5400 provided in the first aspect of the present application.

[0122] The cylinder 5400 is connected and fixed to the fixing frame 5200 through a connecting piece, and is connected to the guide rod 1415 of the gear containing member 1000, so as to provide power for the fixing mechanism 1410 to realize the reciprocating motion of the fixing mechanism 1410.

[0123] pass Figure 8 It can be seen that the cylinder 5400 provides power for the second clamping and rotating module 1400 of the gear containing component 1000 to realize the reciprocating motion of the fixing mechanism 1410; the setting of the fixing frame 5200 can smoothly complete the loading and unloading of the gear, and with the cooperation of the gear containing module, the gear can be stably fixed.

[0124] Please see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9Flow chart of the gear detection method provided in the embodiment of the present application; please refer to Fig.10 , Fig.10 A material loading flow chart provided for an embodiment of the present application; Fig.11 , Fig.11 A cleaning flow chart provided for an embodiment of the present application; Fig.12 , Fig.12 A detection flow chart provided for an embodiment of the present application; and Fig.13 , Fig.13 The material unloading flow chart provided for the embodiment of the present application; the method comprises:

[0125] Step S100: loading step.

[0126] Step S110: cleaning step.

[0127] Step S120: Detection step.

[0128] Step S130: unloading step.

[0129] In the above steps S100-S130, for a target gear, loading is first performed. Further, the target gear is cleaned; it should be noted that cleaning can be operations such as degreasing and descaling. After cleaning, the target gear is further tested, and after obtaining the test data, the target gear can be unloaded. Both the loading and unloading operations are completed at the loading and unloading stations.

[0130] Specifically, Fig.10 The loading steps shown include:

[0131] Step S101: placing a first target gear on a fixed platform of a first clamping and rotating module of a gear accommodating mechanism at a loading and unloading station of a gear detection device.

[0132] Step S102: The fixing mechanism of the second clamping and rotating module abuts against the second end surface of the first target gear to achieve a fixed state of the first target gear.

[0133] In the above steps S101-S102, the first target gear is fixed by the first clamping and rotating module and the second clamping and rotating module to complete the loading step.

[0134] Further, a cleaning step is performed on the first target gear; see Fig.11 , Fig.11 A cleaning flow chart provided for an embodiment of the present application; the method comprises:

[0135] Step S111: The rotating component drives the gear receiving component to move the first target gear from the loading and unloading station to the cleaning station of the gear detection device.

[0136] Step S112: The rotation driving member drives the rotating plane to contact the driving plane, so as to realize the rotation of the first target gear.

[0137] Step S113: Cleaning the first target gear by the gear cleaning member.

[0138] In the above steps S111 to S113, the rotating component drives the gear accommodating component to move the first target gear from the loading and unloading station to the cleaning station; and the gear cleaning component cleans the target gear.

[0139] It should be noted that, in the above process, when the first target gear executes step S110 (ie, step S111 to step S113), the second target gear executes step S100 (ie, step S101 to step S102).

[0140] After the first target gear is cleaned, perform the inspection steps on the first target gear; see Fig.12 , Fig.12 The detection flow chart provided in the embodiment of the present application; the method comprises:

[0141] Step S121: The rotating member drives the gear receiving member to move the first target gear from the cleaning station to the detection station of the gear detection device.

[0142] Step S122: The rotation driving member drives the rotating plane to contact the driving plane, so as to realize the rotation of the first target gear.

[0143] Step S123: Detecting the first target gear by the gear detecting member.

[0144] In the above steps S121 to S123, the rotating component drives the gear accommodating component to move the first target gear from the cleaning station to the detection station; and the gear detection component implements the detection of the first target gear.

[0145] It should be noted that in the above process, when the first target gear executes step S120 (ie, step S121-step S123), the second target gear executes step S110 (ie, step S111-step S113); and the third target gear executes step S100 (ie, step S101-step S102).

[0146] After the first target gear is inspected, it can be cut; please refer to Fig.13 , Fig.13 The material unloading flow chart provided for the embodiment of the present application; the method comprises:

[0147] Step S131: The rotating component drives the rotating base to drive the gear receiving component to move the first target gear from the detection station to the loading and unloading station.

[0148] Step S132: The first target gear is unloaded by releasing the fixing mechanism of the second clamping and rotating module.

[0150] It can be seen that the gear detection method provided in the embodiment of the present application can perform operations on three to-be-detected parts at the same time; the gear containing member is moved to each station by a rotating member to realize the corresponding operation; the time of gear detection is saved, and the efficiency of gear detection can be improved. It is worth noting that the gear detection method provided in the above embodiments of the present application can be used in the embodiments of the gear detection device provided in the above embodiments of the present application, and can also be applied to other gear detection devices known in the art, and the present application does not make any specific restrictions here.

[0151] In an optional embodiment, the present application provides a gear detection method, which includes a loading step, a cleaning step, a detection step, and a unloading step.

[0152] Loading step: at the loading station of the gear detection device, place the first target gear on the fixed platform of the first clamping and rotating module of the gear accommodating component; abut the second end face of the first target gear by the fixing mechanism of the second clamping and rotating module to achieve the fixed state of the first target gear.

[0157] It should be noted that, based on the embodiments provided in the foregoing part of this application, the gear containing member 1000 provided in this application can be evenly fixed on the upper surface of the rotating base 3220 at the same angle and interval, so as to realize the setting of multiple workstations; wherein, the gear detection device 3000 containing multiple gear containing members 1000 can be stopped at different positions by a cam divider; that is, the device can be automatically stopped at a fixed angle interval position.
