Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a PCD turning tool quality inspection device based on a vision screening system and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] PCD turning tools, also known as diamond tools, have characteristics such as high hardness, high compressive strength, good thermal conductivity and wear resistance, and can achieve high machining accuracy and efficiency in high-speed cutting.

[0003] During production, the precision of the PCD turning tool itself is a decisive factor in determining its quality and the longevity of the product after high-speed cutting. Therefore, the final step in producing PCD turning tools is to inspect them. There are two inspection methods: for tools of general precision, a magnifying glass is used in conjunction with manual inspection; for tools of higher precision, workers place the PCD tool to be inspected in a fixed area and inspect it with a vision sensor. After one side is inspected, the other side is manually switched. After all inspections are completed, the tools are manually classified. Both of these methods require a lot of manpower and have relatively low inspection efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated inspection device that can inspect both sides of multiple PCD turning tools. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a PCD turning tool quality inspection device and its usage method based on a vision screening system, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0013] Preferably, one side of the bracket has a protrusion on the front half near the tipping chamber end, and the other side of the bracket has a protrusion on the rear half near the tipping chamber end.

[0023] To address the problems of low efficiency and high manpower consumption in existing inspection methods, this invention provides a PCD lathe tool quality inspection device based on a vision screening system and its usage method. The technical solution of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described invention is only a part of this invention, not all of it. All other inventions obtained by those skilled in the art based on this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides a PCD turning tool quality inspection device based on a vision screening system, including a vision detector 1 capable of detecting the quality of PCD turning tools, and further comprising,

[0025] The conveying mechanism has multiple flipping mechanisms arranged in a linear array at its conveying end, and the flipping mechanism has a clamping mechanism arranged in a linear array at its flipping end that can clamp the PCD turning tool.

[0026] Electric push rod 2, the electric push rod 2 is located behind the vision detector 1 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and the number of electric push rods 2 is the same as the number of clamping mechanisms.

[0027] Specifically, the conveying mechanism includes a support 301, on which rollers 302 are symmetrically arranged, and guide belts 303 are symmetrically arranged on the outer periphery of the rollers 302. A motor 304 is mounted on the support 301, and the rollers 302 are mounted on the power output end of the motor 304. When the motor 304 is started, the motor 304 drives the rollers 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide belts 303 to rotate. The guide belts 303 drive the tilting chamber 401 and the PCD cutting tool on its surface to move.

[0028] Specifically, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping chamber 401 arranged in a linear array on the guide belt 303. Inside the cavity of the flipping chamber 401, there are toothed bars 402 that can move relative to or towards each other. Between the tooth blocks of the two toothed bars 402, there are gears 403 arranged in a linear array. When the toothed bars 402 move, they will drive the gears 403 to rotate under the action of meshing, which will in turn drive the clamping structure on the surface of the gears 403 to rotate, and finally allow the PCD turning tool to flip.

[0029] Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping chamber 501 mounted on the gear 403. A spiral spring rod 502 is symmetrically arranged inside the clamping chamber 501, and a clamping block 503 is mounted on the spiral spring rod 502. The clamping block 503 is manually opened near the motor 304, the PCD cutting tool is placed inside, and the clamping block 503 is released. The PCD cutting tool is then clamped under the elastic force of the spiral spring rod 502.

[0030] Specifically, the bracket 301 has multiple sensing placement rods 6 arranged in a linear array, and the vision detector 1 and electric push rod 2 are respectively disposed on the sensing placement rods 6; when the sensing placement rod 6 senses the PCD cutting tool passing by, the corresponding vision detector 1 or electric push rod 2 is activated.

[0031] Specifically, the bracket 301 is provided with two conveyor belts 7 on the side away from the guide belt 303; the PCD cutting tool that has been removed by the electric push rod 2 is transported by the two conveyor belts 7.

[0032] Specifically, a protrusion 404 is provided on the front half of the support 301 near the tilting chamber 401 on one side, and a protrusion 404 is provided on the rear half of the support 301 near the tilting chamber 401 on the other side; the protrusion 404 drives the two toothed rods 402 to move.

[0033] A method for using a PCD turning tool quality inspection device based on a vision screening system includes the following steps:

[0034] Step A, Data Entry: Enter the front and back sides of a high-quality PCD turning tool of the same model into the vision detector 1 for comparison.

[0035] Step B, PCD tool clamping: Manually open the clamping block 503 near the motor 304, put the PCD tool in it and release the clamping block 503. The PCD tool is clamped under the action of the spring force of the scroll spring rod 502.

[0036] Step C, Detection: When all the clamping blocks 503 on the same flipping chamber 401 are clamping the PCD cutting tool, start the motor 304. The motor 304 drives the roller 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide belt 303 to rotate. The guide belt 303 drives the flipping chamber 401 and the PCD cutting tool on it to move. When the PCD cutting tool moves to the detection area of ​​the vision detector 1, the vision detector 1 detects the PCD cutting tool.

[0037] Step D, Rejection: The visual detector 1 marks the defective product. When it moves to the electric push rod 2, the electric push rod 2 at the corresponding position is activated to reject the marked PCD cutting tool.

[0038] Step E, Flipping: After the electric push rod 2 is removed, as the flipping chamber 401 continues to move, the rack 402 inside it will be squeezed by the protrusion 404 located at the rear end, thus moving. Under the action of the rack 402 and the gear 403 meshing, the gear 403 will rotate, thereby causing the PCD cutting tool to flip.

[0039] Step F: As the PCD cutting tool moves, after being detected again by the vision detector 1 and rejected by the electric push rod 2, the remaining PCD cutting tools can be collected manually. The rejected PCD cutting tools will be conveyed out by the conveyor belt 7 for rework processing.

[0040] The present invention provides a PCD turning tool quality inspection device and its usage method based on a vision screening system, which has the following advantages:

[0041] 1. The entire inspection method adopts a production line approach. With the help of the conveying mechanism and clamping mechanism, multiple PCD turning tools can be inspected simultaneously, which is highly efficient.

[0042] 2. The entire system utilizes a flipping mechanism to flip the fixed PCD turning tool, allowing for inspection of both sides without manual intervention, thus reducing manpower consumption. Therefore, the system can be widely applied to the quality inspection of PCD turning tools.
