[0042] Refer to Figure 8As shown in the figure, the driving component 5 includes two synchronous pulleys 12, a belt 13 and a stepping motor 14. At the top of the mounting bracket, two rollers are rotatably arranged through two hinge shafts. The conveyor belt 6 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two rollers.

The two synchronous pulleys 12 are respectively fixedly arranged on its output end and one of the hinge shafts close to the stepping motor 14. The belt 13 is sleeved between the two synchronous pulleys 12. The stepping motor 14 is electrically connected to the controller. During detection, first, a batch of automotive friction plates are horizontally placed on the top of the conveyor belt 6, and then the stepping motor 14 is started through the controller. Since the conveyor belt 6 is sleeved with the two rollers, the two synchronous pulleys 12 are respectively fixedly arranged on its output end and one of the hinge shafts close to the stepping motor 14, and the two synchronous pulleys 12 are sleeved with the belt 13, the friction plates are driven to be conveyed towards the end close to the centering mechanism 2.

[0043] Refer to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the lifting component 9 includes a linear motor 15, a slide plate 16 and two sliders 17. At the top of the bracket, two guide rails are fixedly arranged. Each slider 17 is slidably arranged on the outer wall of one guide rail.

The linear motor 15 is fixedly arranged at the top of the bracket, and its output end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide plate 16. The linear motor 15 is electrically connected to the controller. When the friction plate is conveyed to the bottom close to the bracket 19, the linear motor 15 is started through the controller, so that its output end extends upward. Since its output end is fixedly connected to the slide plate 16, the slide plate 16 is slidably connected to the two guide rails through the two sliders 17, and the cross plate 20 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 27, the cross plate 20 and the bracket 19 thereon are driven to descend.

[0044] Refer to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the rotating component 10 includes a servo motor 18 and a bracket 19. A cross plate 20 is fixedly arranged at the top of the slide plate 16.

The servo motor 18 is electrically connected to the controller. When the detection is completed, the servo motor 18 is started through the controller. Since its output end is fixedly connected to the bracket 19 and its output end is rotationally connected to the cross plate 20, the bracket 19 is driven to rotate.

[0045] Refer to Figure 3As shown, the telescopic assembly 11 includes a micromotor 21, an annular plate 22, four slides 23 and four electric suction cups 24. The micromotor 21 is inserted at the top of the bracket 19, and its output end is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 19. Four arc grooves are provided on the outer wall of the annular plate 22 at equal intervals. Each slide 23 is slidably provided at the bottom of the bracket 19. A plug rod 25 is fixed at the bottom of each slide 23. Each electric suction cup 24 is fixed at the bottom of a plug rod 25. Each plug rod 25 is plugged into an arc groove. When the bracket 19 and the electric suction cup 24 at its bottom are connected After descending close to the friction plate of the car, the electric suction cup 24 is started by the controller to suck up the friction plate, and then the micromotor 21 is started by the controller to drive the annular plate 22 on its output end to rotate. Since each slide column 23 is slidably connected to a bracket 19, the bottom of each slide column 23 is fixedly connected to a plug rod 25, and the top of each slide column 23 is slidably connected to the bottom of a bracket 19, the four friction plates are driven to align when the annular plate 22 rotates, and then the friction plate is photographed and inspected by the industrial camera 7 to detect the quality of the friction plate.

[0046] Reference Figure 7 As shown, a vertical plate is fixed on the top of the base 1, and an electric control component 26 is fixed on the top of the vertical plate. A lifting plate 27 is slidably provided on the outer wall of the vertical plate. The electric control component 26 is transmission-connected to the lifting plate 27, and the electric control component 26 is electrically connected to the controller. When the bracket 19 and the automobile friction plate at the bottom thereof rotate to above one end close to the screw slide 28, the electric control component 26 is started by the controller, and a screw is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the vertical plate. The screw is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting plate 27, and the lifting plate 27 is slidingly connected to the vertical plate. The electric component is connected to the screw through a pulley transmission, thereby driving the lifting plate 27 to rise.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a screw slide 28 is fixed on the top of the lifting plate 27, and a material receiving block 29 is slidably provided on the screw slide 28. When the lifting plate 27 rises and drives the screw slide 28 to rise to the same height as the conveyor belt 6, the controller cuts off the power to the electronic control component 26, and the screw slide 28 drives the material receiving block 29 to slide to the bottom of the friction plate adsorbed near the bottom of the bracket 19, and then the electric suction cup 24 is released by the controller to realize the unloading of the friction plate.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a groove 30 for the friction plate to be placed is provided on the top of the receiving block 29. The friction plate after unloading falls into the groove 30. The groove 30 can prevent the friction plate from slipping and causing damage, thereby protecting product quality.

[0049] Working principle of the present invention: During detection, first place a batch of automotive friction plates horizontally on the top of the conveyor belt 6, and then start the stepper motor 14 through the controller. Since the conveyor belt 6 is sleeved with two rollers, two synchronous wheels 12 are respectively fixed on their output ends and on one of the hinge shafts close to the stepper motor 14, and the two synchronous wheels 12 are sleeved with a belt 13, thereby driving the friction plates to be conveyed towards one end close to the centering mechanism 2.

[0050] When the friction plates are conveyed to the bottom close to the bracket 19, start the linear motor 15 through the controller, so that its output end extends upward. Since its output end is fixedly connected to the slide plate 16, the slide plate 16 is slidably connected to two guide rails through two sliders 17, and the cross plate 20 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 27, thereby driving the cross plate 20 and the bracket 19 thereon to descend.

[0051] When the bracket 19 and the electric suction cup 24 at its bottom descend to be close to the automotive friction plate, start the electric suction cup 24 through the controller to suck up the friction plate, and then start the micro motor 21 through the controller to drive the annular plate 22 on its output end to rotate. Since each slide column 23 is slidably connected to a bracket 19, the bottom of each slide column 23 is fixedly connected to a plug rod 25, and the top of each slide column 23 is slidably connected to the bottom of a bracket 19, thereby centering the four friction plates when the annular plate 22 rotates, and then take pictures of the friction plates through the industrial camera 7 to detect the quality of the friction plates.

[0052] When the detection is completed, start the servo motor 18 through the controller. Since its output end is fixedly connected to the bracket 19 and its output end is rotatably connected to the cross plate 20, it drives the bracket 19 to rotate.

[0053] When the bracket 19 and the automotive friction plate at its bottom rotate to the upper part of one end close to the screw rod slide table 28, start the electric control component 26 through the controller. A screw rod is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the vertical plate, the screw rod is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting plate 27, the lifting plate 27 is slidably connected to the vertical plate, and the electric component is connected to the screw rod through belt pulley transmission, thereby driving the lifting plate 27 to rise.

[0054] When the lifting plate 27 rises to drive the screw rod slide table 28 to rise to the same height as the conveyor belt 6, cut off the power supply of the electric control component 26 through the controller. The screw rod slide table 28 drives the receiving block 29 to slide to the lower part of the friction plate adsorbed at the bottom of the bracket 19, and then loosen the electric suction cup 24 through the controller to realize the blanking of the friction plate.

[0055] The friction plates after blanking fall into the inside of the groove 30. The groove 30 can prevent the friction plates from slipping off and being damaged, playing a role in protecting the product quality.
