[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of a planar gasket detection system according to the present invention. Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a planar gasket inspection system, including: a fixed platform 3, a gasket loading mechanism 1, and a gasket unloading mechanism 2. Both the gasket loading mechanism 1 and the gasket unloading mechanism 2 are mounted on the fixed platform 3. Further, the fixed platform 3 has five stations. The gasket loading mechanism 1 and the gasket unloading mechanism 2 each occupy one station, and the remaining three stations are an inner / outer diameter inspection mechanism, a laser thickness inspection mechanism, and a defective product unloading mechanism (all not shown in the figure). These five stations are arranged around the glass inspection stage 12, forming a ring. The gaskets fall onto the glass inspection table 12 from the gasket feeding mechanism 1, and then are inspected by the inner and outer diameter inspection mechanism and the laser thickness inspection mechanism. If they pass the inspection, they are sent to the gasket unloading mechanism 2 for collection. If they fail the inspection, they are pushed out of the glass inspection table 12 by the defective product unloading mechanism. This completes a complete gasket inspection process. The various mechanisms set on the five workstations of the fixed table 3 work independently without interfering with each other, forming a continuous and uninterrupted inspection work. While ensuring the inspection accuracy, it also greatly improves the production efficiency of the inspected gaskets.

[0017] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the gasket feeding mechanism of the present invention. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the composition of the gasket feeding mechanism 1 is described in detail below. The gasket feeding mechanism 1 includes a glass inspection table 12, which is used to convey gaskets. The glass inspection table 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed table 3. A ratchet 13 is provided on the glass inspection table 12. The glass inspection table 12 and the ratchet 13 can rotate synchronously. A gasket hopper structure 11 is provided on the fixed table 3 on one side of the glass inspection table 12. The gasket hopper structure 11 is used to store gaskets. A feeding and pushing structure 14 is sleeved on the ratchet 13. The feeding and pushing structure 14 can push the gaskets stored in the gasket hopper structure 11 one by one onto the glass inspection table 12 in an orderly manner.

[0018] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and combined Figure 3 and 4 , Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the gasket hopper structure of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the front stop bar and the rear stop bar of the hopper according to the present invention. Figures 2 to 4As shown below, the composition of the gasket hopper structure 11 is described in detail. The gasket hopper structure 11 includes a hopper base 111, which is fixed on the fixed platform 3. Part of the hopper base 111 is disposed on the surface of the glass inspection platform 12, and the other part of the hopper base 111 is disposed between the glass inspection platform 12 and the fixed platform 3. The top of the hopper base 111 has multiple sliding grooves. Adjustment scales 114 are provided on the top surface of the hopper base 111 on both sides of the sliding grooves. A hopper adjustment block 113 is provided in the sliding groove. A hopper stop bar 112 is installed on the top of the hopper adjustment block 113. A gasket stacking groove is formed between all the hopper stop bars 112. A hopper sensor 115 is installed on the top of the hopper base 111. Part of the hopper sensor 115 extends into the gasket stacking groove. The stacking groove on the hopper base 111 is a through groove structure. The gaskets are stacked in the gasket stacking groove between the hopper stop bars 112 and can be pushed onto the glass inspection table 12 by the feeding and feeding structure 14.

[0019] Please continue reading. Figure 4 .like Figure 4 As shown, a limit rod 116 is fixed to the top of the hopper base 111, and a front stop rod 117 and a rear stop rod 118 are provided at the bottom of the hopper base 111. The front stop rod 117 and the rear stop rod 118 are located at the edge below the gasket stacking groove. The distance between the front stop rod 117 and the glass inspection table 12 should be adjusted with a feeler gauge to be less than the thickness of two gaskets but greater than the thickness of one gasket. This can prevent two gaskets from being pulled out at the same time or jamming. The distance between the rear stop rod 118 and the glass inspection table 12 should be adjusted with a feeler gauge to be less than the thickness of one gasket but greater than the thickness of the material-pulling piece. This can prevent jamming.

[0020] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and combined Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a perspective view of the feeding and dispensing structure of the present invention. Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the composition of the feeding and feeding structure 14 is described in detail below. The feeding and feeding structure 14 includes a rotating shaft 143, which is sleeved on the ratchet 13. A seated bearing 144 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 143. The seated bearing 144 is set on the fixed platform 3. A return cylinder 145 is set on one side of the seated bearing 144. A feeding piece 141 is fixed on one side of the rotating shaft 143. Part of the feeding piece 141 extends into the gap between the hopper base 111 and the glass inspection platform 12. A buckle 142 is fixed at the top of the feeding piece 141. The limiting rod 116 and the buckle 142 abut against each other.

[0021] It should be noted that the hopper sensor 115 detects whether the hopper is low on material. If it is, an alarm will sound, and the operator will manually replenish the hopper. The ratchet 13 is fixed to the glass detection table 12. The glass detection table 12 rotates together with the ratchet 13 by one material level. Because the snap fastener 142 engages the ratchet 12's teeth, the snap fastener 142 drives the material-pulling plate 141 to rotate and pull out a pad from the bottom of the pad stacking groove under the hopper base 111. When the snap fastener 142 touches the limit plate 116, it will open and disengage from the ratchet 13, stopping its rotation. After disengaging from the ratchet 13, the return cylinder 145 pushes the rotating shaft 143 to rotate the material-pulling plate 141, causing the material-pulling plate 141 to return to its reset position. This cycle achieves continuous automatic feeding of the turntable.

[0022] Please continue reading. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown below, the composition of the gasket feeding mechanism 2 is described in detail. The gasket feeding mechanism 2 includes a gasket stacking structure 21, which can stack qualified gaskets. The gasket stacking structure 21 is set on a fixed platform 3 on one side of the glass inspection table 12. A feeding and feeding structure 22 is installed on the fixed platform 3 on one side of the gasket stacking structure 21. A gasket conveying structure 23 is installed on the fixed platform 3 on one side of the feeding and feeding structure 22. The gasket conveying structure 23 can transport a certain number of stacked gaskets to a designated position on the fixed platform 3.

[0023] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and combined Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the gasket stacking structure of the present invention. Figure 1 and 6 As shown, the composition of the gasket stacking structure 21 is described in detail below. The gasket stacking structure 21 includes a servo motor 212, which is mounted on the fixed platform 3. The servo motor 212 is fixedly connected to the feeding and feeding structure 22, and a feeding sheet metal 211 is fixed to the top of the feeding and feeding structure 22. The gasket stacking structure 21 also includes a guide sheet metal 213, which is mounted on the top of the hopper base 111. Multiple feeding guide posts 214 are fixed on the fixed platform 3. Specifically, one guide post is used to be fitted with a gasket, and another guide post is used to be tangent to the outer edge of the gasket, so that the gasket is stably fitted onto one of the guide posts. After the gasket falls, it is fitted onto the guide post at the center position under the action of the tangent guide post, thus achieving the stacking effect. The feeding guide post 214 is located between the feeding sheet metal 211 and the guide sheet metal 213. A rotary cylinder 216 is fixed on the fixed platform 3. A pad 215 is fixed on the top of the rotary cylinder 216. A lifting cylinder 217 is installed below the rotary cylinder 216.

[0024] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and combined Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the gasket conveying structure of the present invention. Figure 1 and 7 As shown, the assembly structure of the gasket conveying structure 23 is described in detail below. The gasket conveying structure 23 includes a stepper motor 234. One end of the stepper motor 234 is fixed with a telescopic cylinder 232, and the other end of the telescopic cylinder 232 is provided with a synchronous belt telescopic component 231. A synchronous belt conveyor 233 is provided above the synchronous belt telescopic component 231, and a full material sensor 235 is fixed on one side of the synchronous belt conveyor 233.

[0025] After the shim on the glass inspection table 12 rotates to the unloading position, the feeding sheet metal 211, driven by the servo motor 234, rotates 90 degrees to cooperate with the guiding sheet metal 213 in transferring the shim from the glass inspection table 12 to the unloading guide post 214 for stacking. After the unloading guide post 214 has stacked the set number of shims, the rotary cylinder 216 rotates 180 degrees. The lifting cylinder 217 lifts the shim upwards, and the telescopic cylinder 232 pushes the synchronous belt telescopic component 231 to below the shim. The lifting cylinder 217 then retracts downwards, and the telescopic cylinder 232 drives the synchronous belt telescopic component 231 to retract, completing the unloading. This cycle achieves continuous automatic unloading. When the full material sensor 235 detects that the material is full, an alarm is triggered to prompt manual removal.

[0026] The specific working process of this invention is as follows: The glass inspection stage 12, together with the ratchet 13, rotates to one material level. Because the snap fastener 142 engages the ratchet 12's teeth, the snap fastener 142 drives the material-pushing plate 141 to rotate and push a pad out from the bottom of the pad stacking groove below the material hopper base 111. When the snap fastener 142 touches the limiting platform 116, it opens and disengages from the ratchet 13, stopping its rotation. After disengaging from the ratchet 13, the return cylinder 145 pushes the rotating shaft 143, causing the material-pushing plate 141 to rotate, returning it to its reset position. The material-pushing plate 141 pushes one pad at a time onto the glass inspection stage 12. This cycle continuously feeds the material, and the previously pushed-out pad rotates to the area below the inner and outer diameter detection mechanism, where it is then pushed out again. The first pad will move to the area below the laser thickness detection mechanism. If all the inspections are qualified, it will then pass under the defective product unloading mechanism and move to the unloading position. At this time, the feeding sheet metal 211 is rotated 90 degrees by the servo motor 234, and the guiding sheet metal 213 will transfer the pad from the glass inspection table 12 to the unloading guide post 214 for stacking. After the unloading guide post 214 has stacked the set number of pads, the rotary cylinder 216 rotates 180 degrees, the lifting cylinder 217 lifts the pad upwards, and the telescopic cylinder 232 pushes the synchronous belt telescopic component 231 to the area below the pad. The lifting cylinder 217 retracts downwards, and the telescopic cylinder 232 drives the synchronous belt telescopic component 231 to retract, completing the unloading. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous automatic unloading. When the full material sensor 235 detects that the material is full, an alarm will be triggered to prompt manual removal. If any of the inspections fails, the pad will be pushed out of the glass inspection table 12 at the station below the defective product unloading mechanism.

[0027] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by setting up a glass inspection table 12, a gasket feeding mechanism 1, and a gasket unloading mechanism 2 to form a continuous and uninterrupted inspection operation, the production efficiency of the inspection gaskets is greatly improved while ensuring the inspection accuracy. By setting an adjustable front stop bar 117 and a rear stop bar 118 of the hopper, the problems of material jamming and multiple gaskets being output at one time during the gasket discharge process can be effectively solved, reducing the failure rate of the inspection system during use and ensuring that the gaskets are continuously output to achieve the function of being inspected. By setting up a gasket stacking structure 21 and a gasket conveying structure 23, the efficiency of stacking and outputting qualified gaskets is realized, reducing the difficulty of manually sorting and packaging gaskets and alleviating the workload during the gasket inspection process.

[0028] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
