[0047] Example
[0048] The missing screw detection device provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, it includes: base plate 1, angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3, missing screw detection mechanism 4, and control unit 5.
[0049] The base plate 1 is used to form the mounting foundation for the missing screw detection device;
[0050] Among them, the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2 is used to clamp and fix the angle grinder 6 to be tested;
[0051] Among them, the angle grinder installation detection mechanism 3 is used to detect whether the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2 has clamped and fixed the angle grinder 6 in place;
[0052] Among them, the missing screw detection mechanism 4 is used to detect whether there are any missing screws in the angle grinder 6;
[0053] The control unit 5 is electrically connected to the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, the angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3, and the missing screw detection mechanism 4, respectively, and is used to control the automatic operation of the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, the angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3, and the missing screw detection mechanism 4.
[0054] The missing screw detection device using the above technical solution mainly consists of a base plate 1, an angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, an angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3, a missing screw detection mechanism 4, and a control unit 5. It can automatically detect all the screws that need to be detected. Different operators can operate the device and get the same detection results. There is no human factor affecting the detection. The detection is reliable, fast, complete, and safe.
[0055] Specifically, to prevent the missing screw detection device from operating when the angle grinder 6 is not properly clamped and fixed, thus causing the missing screw detection mechanism 4 to fail to detect the screws at the corresponding positions, in this embodiment: after the angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3 detects that the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2 has clamped and fixed the angle grinder 6 in place, the control unit 5 will control the missing screw detection mechanism 4 to work to detect whether there are any missing screws on the angle grinder 6, and the control unit 5 will display the detection results. If any screw is unqualified during the detection, the entire machine is judged to be unqualified, and the location of the unqualified screw will be displayed.
[0056] Specifically, in order to realize the specific function of the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, in this embodiment: the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2 includes a positioning seat 201, a support seat 202, a clamping cylinder 203 and a clamping block 204. The positioning seat 201, the support seat 202 and the clamping cylinder 203 are all fixedly installed on the upper part of the base plate 1. The positioning seat 201 is located between the support seat 202 and the clamping cylinder 203. The clamping block 204 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the clamping cylinder 203.
[0057] The angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2 using the above technical solution mainly consists of a positioning seat 201, a support seat 202, a clamping cylinder 203, and a clamping cylinder 203. In use, the angle grinder 6 is placed on the upper part of the positioning seat 201 and the support seat 202, and then the clamping cylinder 203 is activated. The clamping cylinder 203 drives the clamping cylinder 203 to clamp and fix the angle grinder 6 on the upper part of the positioning seat 201 and the support seat 202.
[0058] Specifically, to achieve the specific function of the angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3, in this embodiment: the angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3 is located below the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, and the angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3 includes a vertical plate 301, a first mounting plate 302, a second mounting plate 306, two first guide rods 304, a moving plate 309, a first cylinder 303, two mounting seats 307, and two first sensors 310. The vertical plate 301 is vertically and fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 1. The first mounting plate 302 and the second mounting plate 306 are both horizontally and fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 301. The two first guide rods 304 are both vertically and fixedly installed between the first mounting plate 302 and the second mounting plate 306. The moving plate 309 is horizontally and slidably fitted onto the two first guide rods 304. The first cylinder 303 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 301. On the side, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate 309. Two mounting seats 307 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the moving plate 309, and guide cylinders 311 are fixedly installed inside the upper part of each of the two mounting seats 307. A round rod 312 is movably installed inside the guide cylinder 311. A first probe 308 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the round rod 312, and a first return spring 313 is fitted onto the round rod 312. The first probe 308 is located outside the upper part of the mounting seat 307. The upper end of the first return spring 313 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first probe 308, and the bottom end of the first return spring 313 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide cylinder 311. Two first sensors 310 are fixedly embedded in the moving plate 309, and the detection parts of the two first sensors 310 extend into the bottom of the two mounting seats 307 respectively to detect whether the bottom end of the round rod 312 is close to the target.
[0059] When the first probe 308 is subjected to a force directed toward the first sensor 310, the first probe 308 moves closer to the detection part of the first sensor 310.
[0060] The angle grinder installation detection mechanism 3, employing the above technical solution, mainly consists of a vertical plate 301, a first mounting plate 302, a second mounting plate 306, two first guide rods 304, a moving plate 309, a first cylinder 303, two mounting seats 307, and two first sensors 310. In use, the first cylinder 303 drives the moving plate 309 to move linearly up and down along the two first guide rods 304. When the angle grinder 6 is installed correctly, as the first cylinder 303 drives the moving plate 309 to move upwards along the two first guide rods 304, the upper end of the first probe 308 will abut against the bottom of the angle grinder 6. At this time, the first probe 308 is pressed down, and the first probe 308 drives the round rod 312 to move closer to the detection part of the first sensor 310. At this time, the first sensor 310 generates a sensing signal and uploads it to the control unit 5. The control unit 5 determines that the angle grinder 6 is installed in place. When the angle grinder 6 is not installed in place, the first cylinder 303 drives the moving plate 309 to move upward along the two first guide rods 304. The first probe 308 will not be pressed down, and the first sensor 310 will not detect it. At this time, it can be determined that the angle grinder 6 is not installed in place. The first reset spring 313 is used to drive the first probe 308 to reset.
[0061] Specifically, in order to reduce the friction between the first guide rod 304 and the moving plate 309, in this embodiment: two first linear bearings 305 are embedded on the moving plate 309, and the two first guide rods 304 are respectively disposed through the two first linear bearings 305, and the side of the first guide rod 304 is slidably connected to the ball bearings on the inner wall of the first linear bearing 305. The first linear bearings 305 can effectively reduce the friction between the first guide rod 304 and the moving plate 309, thereby reducing the friction between the first guide rod 304 and the moving plate 309.
[0062] Specifically, to achieve the specific function of the missing screw detection mechanism 4, in this embodiment: the missing screw detection mechanism 4 is located near the angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, and the missing screw detection mechanism 4 includes a first fixed guide plate 401, a second fixed guide plate 405, two second guide rods 402, a first push plate 404, a second push plate 409, a second cylinder 410, several second probes 403, and several second sensors 407. The first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405 are both vertically and fixedly installed on the base plate 1. At the top, two second guide rods 402 are horizontally and slidably mounted on the first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405. A first push plate 404 is fixedly mounted on the two second guide rods 402, and the first push plate 404 is located between the first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405. A second push plate 409 is fixedly mounted on the two second guide rods 402, and the second push plate 409 is located on the side of the second fixed guide plate 405 away from the first push plate 404. A second cylinder 410 is fixedly mounted on the first fixed guide plate 401. Between the first and second fixed guide plates 401 and the second cylinder 410, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 410 is fixedly connected to one side of the second push plate 409 facing the second fixed guide plate 405, for driving the first push plate 404 and the second push plate 409 to move toward the angle grinder pressing and fixing mechanism 2. Several second probes 403 are horizontally and slidably inserted on the first push plate 404. The head ends of several second probes 403 are movably inserted through the first fixed guide plate 401, and the tail ends of several second probes 403 are movably inserted through the second fixed guide plate 405. Each of the second probes 403 has a slidably fitted anti-collision sleeve 406 at its tail end, and each of the second probes 403 has a fixedly fitted baffle 413. Each of the second probes 403 has a movablely fitted second return spring 412. Several second sensors 407 are fixedly embedded in the second push plate 409, and the number of the several second sensors 407 is the same as the number of the several second probes 403. Each second sensor 407 corresponds to one second probe 403. The second sensor 407 is used to detect whether the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position is close.
[0063] The missing screw detection mechanism 4 using the above technical solution mainly consists of a first fixed guide plate 401, a second fixed guide plate 405, two second guide rods 402, a first push plate 404, a second push plate 409, a second cylinder 410, several second probes 403, and several second sensors 407. In use, the second cylinder 410 drives the first push plate 404, the second push plate 409, and the two second guide rods 402 to move towards the angle grinder pressing and fixing mechanism 2 on the first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405. At the same time, several second probes 403 move towards the angle grinder 6 and detect the screws at the corresponding positions on the angle grinder 6.
[0064] When the screw at the corresponding position on the angle grinder 6 has been installed, the screw at the corresponding position will block the movement of the second probe 403. At this time, the second probe 403 at the corresponding position will move closer to the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position. At this time, the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position will decrease. Then, the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position will generate an electrical signal and upload it to the control unit 5.
[0065] When the screw at the corresponding position on the angle grinder 6 is not installed, there will be a mounting hole at the corresponding position. The second probe 403 at the corresponding position will be inserted into the mounting hole at the corresponding position. At this time, the second probe 403 at the corresponding position will not move closer to the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position. At this time, the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position remains unchanged. The second sensor 407 at the corresponding position will not generate an electrical signal to be transmitted to the control unit 5. The control unit 5 can determine that the screw at this position has been missed.
[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment: to prevent the anti-collision sleeve 406 from damaging the second sensor 407, the anti-collision sleeve 406 is disposed between the second fixed guide plate 405 and the second push plate 409, and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position is disposed adjacent to the detection part of the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position. A buffer spring 411 is installed inside the anti-collision sleeve 406. In order for the buffer spring 411 to buffer the impact force when the anti-collision sleeve 406 contacts the second sensor 407, the buffer spring 411 is abutted between the end wall of the anti-collision sleeve 406 facing the second push plate 409 and the tail end of the second probe 403. Therefore, the buffer spring 411 can be used to prevent the anti-collision sleeve 406 from damaging the second sensor 407. At the same time, the buffer spring 411 increases the range of relative movement of the second probe 403. Therefore, the missing screw detection device can be used to detect angle grinders 6 of different sizes.
[0067] To ensure that the second probe 403 can automatically reset after the target is detected, the baffle 413 and the second reset spring 412 are both located between the first push plate 404 and the second fixed guide plate 405. The baffle 413 is located between the second reset spring 412 and the first push plate 404. The second reset spring 412 is used to drive the second probe 403 to reset. Under the action of the second reset spring 412, the baffle 413 abuts against the side of the first push plate 404 facing the second fixed guide plate 405. At the same time, under the action of the second reset spring 412, the end of the anti-collision sleeve 406 facing away from the second push plate 409 abuts against the side of the second fixed guide plate 405 facing the second push plate 409.
[0068] Specifically, in order to reduce the resistance when the two second guide rods 402 move, in this embodiment: two second linear bearings 408 are fixedly embedded on both the first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405, and the two second guide rods 402 are respectively set through the corresponding positions of the second linear bearings 408, and the side of the second guide rod 402 is slidably connected to the ball bearings on the inner wall of the second linear bearing 408.
[0069] Specifically, in order to realize the function of the control unit 5, in this embodiment: the control unit 5 includes a control box 501, a touch screen 502, a start switch 503, a red indicator light 506, a green indicator light 505, a buzzer 504, and a PLC controller. The control box 501 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base plate 1. The touch screen 502, the start switch 503, the red indicator light 506, the green indicator light 505, and the buzzer 504 are all fixedly installed on the front of the control box 501. The PLC controller is fixedly installed inside the control box 501, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to the touch screen 502, the start switch 503, the red indicator light 506, the green indicator light 505, the buzzer 504, the clamping cylinder 203, the first cylinder 303, two first sensors 310, a second cylinder 410, and several second sensors 407.
[0070] The control unit 5 using the above technical solution mainly consists of a control box 501, a touch screen 502, a start switch 503, a red indicator light 506, a green indicator light 505, a buzzer 504, and a PLC controller. The PLC controller is used to receive electrical signals from two first sensors 310, several second sensors 407, and the start switch 503, and is also used to control the touch screen 502, the red indicator light 506, the green indicator light 505, the buzzer 504, the clamping cylinder 203, the first cylinder 303, and the second cylinder 410 to work automatically.
[0071] When a missing screw is detected, the PLC controller controls the red indicator light 506 to light up, simultaneously controls the buzzer 504 to sound an alarm, and controls the touch screen 502 to display the alarm information.
[0072] If no missing screws are detected, after the inspection is completed, the PLC controller will control the green indicator light 505 to light up and simultaneously control the touch screen 502 to display the inspection result information.
[0073] The start switch 503 is used to start the missing screw detection device with one key. When the angle grinder 6 to be tested is placed on the upper part of the positioning seat 201 and the support seat 202, and then the start switch 503 is pressed, the PLC controller controls the extension end of the clamping cylinder 203 to extend and drive the clamping cylinder 203 to clamp and fix the angle grinder 6 on the upper part of the positioning seat 201 and the support seat 202. At this time, the angle grinder 6 clamps the first probe 308. The first probe 308 moves closer to the detection part of the first sensor 310. At this time, the first sensor 310 detects that the angle grinder 6 is installed in place and generates an electrical signal to be transmitted to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then controls the missing screw detection mechanism 4 to work. At this time, the extension end of the second cylinder 410 extends and drives the first push plate 404, the second push plate 409 and the two second guide rods 402 to move toward the angle grinder 6 on the first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405. At the same time, several second probes 403 move toward the corresponding screws on the angle grinder 6.
[0074] When the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position decreases, it indicates that the screw at the corresponding position on the angle grinder 6 has been installed;
[0075] When the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position remains unchanged, it indicates that the screw at the corresponding position on the angle grinder 6 is not installed. When the screw at the corresponding position is detected to be not installed, the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position generates an electrical signal and uploads it to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the red indicator light 506 to light up, and at the same time controls the buzzer 504 to sound an alarm, and controls the touch screen 502 to display the alarm information.
[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment: in order to prevent the bottom of the angle grinder installation detection mechanism 3 from being damaged, a support leg 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 1. In order to facilitate the first probe 308 to pass through the base plate 1, a through groove is provided on the base plate 1 at the position corresponding to the first probe 308 for the first probe 308 to pass through.
[0077] In summary, the missing screw detection device provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0078] The missing screw detection device mainly consists of a base plate 1, an angle grinder clamping and fixing mechanism 2, an angle grinder installation status detection mechanism 3, a missing screw detection mechanism 4, and a control unit 5. It can automatically detect all the screws that need to be inspected. Different operators can operate it and get the same detection results. It has the characteristics of reliable, fast, complete, and safe detection. It has high detection accuracy and good reliability and can effectively detect and solve the problem of missing screws.
[0079] When using:
[0080] Step 1: Place the angle grinder 6 to be tested on the upper part of the positioning base 201 and the support base 202;
[0081] Step 2: Press the start switch 503 once. The PLC controller controls the extension end of the clamping cylinder 203 to extend and drive the clamping cylinder 203 to clamp and fix the angle grinder 6 on the upper part of the positioning seat 201 and the support seat 202. At this time, the angle grinder 6 clamps the first probe 308. The first probe 308 moves closer to the detection part of the first sensor 310. At this time, the first sensor 310 detects that the angle grinder 6 is installed in place and generates an electrical signal to be transmitted to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then controls the missing screw detection mechanism 4 to work. At this time, the extension end of the second cylinder 410 extends and drives the first push plate 404, the second push plate 409 and the two second guide rods 402 to move toward the angle grinder 6 on the first fixed guide plate 401 and the second fixed guide plate 405. At the same time, several second probes 403 move toward the corresponding screws on the angle grinder 6.
[0082] When the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position decreases, it indicates that the screw at the corresponding position on the angle grinder 6 has been installed. When all the second sensors 407 detect that the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position has decreased, it indicates that the test is qualified. The PLC controller controls the green indicator light 505 to light up and controls the touch screen 502 to display the test qualification result information.
[0083] When the distance between the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position and the anti-collision sleeve 406 at the corresponding position remains unchanged, it indicates that the screw at the corresponding position on the angle grinder 6 is not installed. The second probe 403 is inserted into the mounting hole of the screw that is not installed. When it is detected that the screw at the corresponding position is not installed, the second sensor 407 at the corresponding position generates an electrical signal and uploads it to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the red indicator light 506 to light up, and at the same time controls the buzzer 504 to sound an alarm, and controls the touch screen 502 to display the alarm information.
[0084] It is worth noting that the model of the PLC controller, the first sensor 310 and the second sensor 407 is not limited in this embodiment. As long as the PLC controller, the first sensor 310 and the second sensor 407 can meet the functions of this embodiment, for example, the PLC controller model can be 6ES72350KD220XA8, and the first sensor 310 and the second sensor 407 can be distance sensors of model VL180.
[0085] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should recognize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
