DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a flip cover type cable appearance collection device includes a cabinet assembly and a light box assembly.

[0022] As shown in Figures 3 to 5 , the light box 8 assembly includes the light box 8, three cameras 4, six light sources 5, and two sets of wire roller mechanisms.

[0023] The light box 8 is a cylinder. The light box 8 is divided into an upper light box 13 and a lower light box 14. The upper light box 13 and the lower light box 14 are hinged, and the upper light box 13 can be flipped upward around the hinge 6. The closing plane of the upper light box 13 and the lower light box 14 is located at a position above the axis of the cylinder. The hinge 6 of the upper light box 13 and the lower light box 14 is parallel to the axis of the light box 8.

[0024] Three cameras 4 are evenly arranged on the circumferential surface of the light box 8. The top camera 4-1 is arranged at the top point of the upper light box 13. The front side camera 4-2 and the rear side camera 4-3 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the lower light box 14, respectively. The lenses of the three cameras 4 are located inside the light box 8. The intersection of the lenses of the three cameras 4 is located at the center point of the light box 8.

[0025] Six light sources 5 are evenly arranged on the circumferential surface of the light box 8. Two light sources 5 are evenly arranged between adjacent cameras 4. Among the six light sources 5, two light sources 5 are located on the upper light box 13, and four light sources 5 are located on the lower light box 14. The light sources 5 are used to illuminate the inside of the light box 8. The intersection of the six light sources 5 is located at the center point of the light box 8.

[0026] Two symmetrical openings 8-1 are arranged on the two sides of the light box 8, that is, the two bottom surfaces of the cylinder. The openings 8-1 are located on the axis of the light box 8. The openings 8-1 are used for the entry and exit of the cable 3.

[0027] Two sets of wire roller mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the light box 8. The wire roller mechanism includes an upper roller 15 and a lower groove wheel 16. The lower groove wheel 16 is fixed on the outer side wall of the lower light box 14. The lower groove wheel 16 is used to support the cable 3. The upper roller 15 is fixed on the outer side wall of the upper light box 13. When the upper light box 13 is flipped to close the lower light box 14, the upper roller 15 contacts the lower groove wheel 16. The upper roller 15 is used to limit and press the cable 3 in the groove of the lower groove wheel 16. The grooves of the lower groove wheels 16 in the two sets of wire roller mechanisms are located on the axis of the light box 8. Through the support and pressing of the two sets of wire roller mechanisms, the cable 3 can move smoothly in the groove. The smaller the shaking of the cable 3, the better the image acquisition effect.

[0028] A brush 17 is arranged between each set of wire roller mechanism and the opening 8-1. The bristles of the brush 17 pass through the axis of the light box 8, that is, the cable 3 passes through the brush 17. The brush 17 can be used to block light and clean impurities on the surface of the cable 3. On the one hand, it blocks ambient light to avoid environmental observation from interfering with the light intensity inside the light box 8. On the other hand, the brush 17 contacts the cable 3, which can remove dust, water stains and other contaminants on the surface of the cable 3, avoiding the interference of the surface attachments of the cable 3 with the acquisition effect.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the case assembly includes a lower cabinet 1 and an upper flip cover 2. The lower cabinet 1 and the upper flip cover 2 are hinged, the upper light box 13 is fixed in the upper flip cover 2, and the lower light box 14 is fixed in the lower cabinet 1. The light box 8 assembly and the cabinet assembly share a hinge 6. When the upper flip cover 2 is opened, the upper light box 13 is opened at the same time. When the lower flip cover is closed, the upper light box 13 is closed with the lower light box 14.

[0030] The hinge 6 is a hinge or a damping hinge. A hydraulic cylinder 7 or an electric cylinder is arranged between the lower cabinet 1 and the upper flip cover 2 to assist the worker in opening the upper flip cover 2.

[0031] The two sides of the lower cabinet 1 are provided with wire passing ports 1-1, which are located at the axis position of the light box 8 and opposite to the openings 8-1 on both sides of the light box 8.

[0032] The lower cabinet body 1 mainly supports the whole device. The bottom of the lower cabinet body 1 is provided with feet with self-locking mechanisms at four corners, facilitating the movement of the device in the production site. After moving to the working position, the feet are locked to ensure the stability of the device.

[0033] The inside of the lower cabinet body 1 contains power supply, controller and other elements. The controller can be an industrial computer, computer or other equipment.

[0034] The surface of the upper flip cover 2 is provided with a handle 9, facilitating the opening and closing of the upper flip cover 2.

[0035] The front panel of the upper flip cover 2 includes start-stop button 10, emergency stop button 11, power switch 12 and touch screen 18. The power switch 12 is used to turn on the power supply of the whole machine. The touch screen 18 is used to set the variety of the cable 3 to be detected and the process parameters. The start-stop button 10 is used to control the start and stop state of the device. The emergency stop button 11 is used to control the temporary power-off in the running process of the device.

[0036] The upper flip cover 2 is provided with an indicator light 19 for issuing photoelectric warning to the staff.

[0037] When the cable 3 is connected and placed in the present application, the staff only needs to open the upper flip cover 2 of the machine box, and the upper light box 13 and the lower light box 14 are opened synchronously around the hinge 6. At this time, the staff places the cable 3 to be detected on the lower groove wheel 16 on both sides of the lower light box 14, and the cable 3 on both sides of the light box 8 is located in the wire passing port 1-1 of the lower cabinet body 1 and the opening 8-1 of the lower light box 14, respectively. At this time, under the support of the lower groove wheel 16, the cable 3 is located at the axis position of the light box 8. Close the upper flip cover 2, and the upper light box 13 and the lower light box 14 are closed. Under the irradiation of the six light sources 5, the lenses of the three cameras 4 focus on the cable 3 located at the axis position inside the light box 8, so as to collect the appearance information of the cable 3. Then the collected appearance information is transmitted to the outside for processing. The connection work between the cable 3 and the collection equipment is very simple. The appearance collection efficiency of the device for the cable 3 is significantly improved. In addition, when the staff finds that the surface of the cable 3 is abnormal or needs to be replaced, the device is powered off, and the upper flip cover 2 is opened for inspection or replacement.
