[0038] The to-be-tested implant is limited in the limiting cavity formed by the sliding block and the side wall of the limiting hole, and the driving member is started to release the to-be-tested implant so as to facilitate the to-be-tested implant to fall downward.
[0039] A detection method comprises the following steps:

[0061] Each sorting chute 110 is provided with a slot 113 extending in the front-rear direction, the slot 113 penetrating the sorting chute 110 in the up-down direction, the width of the slot 113 in the left-right direction decreases successively from top to bottom, the test implant 10 falls from the top of the collecting cavity and is guided to the upper side of the plurality of sorting chutes 110 through the funnel structure, and then the test implant 10 falls successively into the slots 113 of the plurality of sorting chutes 110 until the width of the slot 113 in the left-right direction matches the outer diameter of the test implant 10, so that the test implant 10 is intercepted on the sorting chute 110 where the slot 113 is located.
[0062] The top of each slot 113 is provided with a tapered port that is large at the top and small at the bottom. Since the shape of the test implant 10 is similar to the circular truncated cone structure with the large crown end and the small top end, the tapered port helps guide the top end of the test implant 10 to fall into the slot 113, while the crown end of the test implant 10 is blocked by the left and right side walls of the slot 113, so that the test implant 10 can slide along the slot 113.

[0071] In addition, since the sampling frequency of the laser sensor 600 is fixed, the longer the implant 10, the longer the time through the laser projection line, and thus the more the number of sampled points.

[0079] The first image collector 400 is arranged above the rotating disc 300, the first image collector 400 is a camera, the first image collector 400 is located above the rotation track of the limiting hole 310, and the lens of the first image collector 400 directly faces the rotation track of the limiting hole 310.
[0080] Since the relative position between the first image collector 400 and the bottom end of the conveying channel 200 is fixed, the controller records the angle of each limiting hole 310 from below the bottom end of the conveying channel 200 to below the first image collector 400. When the implant 10 to be measured falls into the limiting hole, and the limiting member clamps the implant 10 to be measured in the limiting hole 310, the controller controls the rotation of the rotating disc 300 to rotate the implant 10 to be measured to be directly below the first image collector 400, and the first image collector 400 shoots a top view image of the implant 10 to be measured, which contains the interface shape, interface appearance, interface diameter, crown end diameter and other information of the implant 10 to be measured.

[0082] The relative position between the rotating mechanism and the first image collector 400 is fixed, and the controller records the angle of each limiting hole 310 from below the first image collector 400 to below the rotating mechanism. When the first image collector 400 shoots a top view image of the implant 10 to be measured, the controller controls the rotation of the rotating disc 300 to rotate the implant 10 to be measured to be below the rotating mechanism. The lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism to move downward, so that the connector of the rotating mechanism is inserted into the interface of the crown end of the implant 10 to be measured. Then, the rotating mechanism rotates to drive the implant 10 to be measured to rotate, adjusts the angle of the implant 10 to be measured, and then the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism to rise to separate the connector from the implant 10 to be measured.
[0083] The second image collector 500 is arranged on the periphery of the rotating disc 300. The second image collector 500 is a camera, and the lens of the second image collector 500 faces the rotating disc 300. The thickness of the rotating disc 300 is small, and the limiting member clamps the crown end of the implant 10 to be measured, so that the lower side of the implant 10 to be measured is exposed below the rotating disc 300. The second image collector 500 is used to shoot a side view image of the lower side of the implant 10 to be measured.
[0084] Since the relative position between the second image collector 500 and the rotating mechanism is fixed, the controller records the angle of each limiting hole 310 from the position below the rotating mechanism to the position in front of the lens of the second image collector 500, and when the implant 10 to be detected is adjusted in angle by the rotating mechanism, the controller controls the rotation of the rotating disc 300 to rotate the implant 10 to be detected to the position in front of the lens of the second image collector 500, and the second image collector 500 captures the side view image of the lower side of the implant 10 to be detected, which contains the information such as the contour, diameter, taper angle, thread shape and pitch of the implant 10 to be detected.
[0085] The image detection device is electrically connected to the first image collector 400 and the second image collector 500, the rotating member 800 is controlled by a separate control device, the control device is electrically connected to the image detection device, and the control device controls the rotation angle of the rotating member 800.
[0086] A plurality of good product grooves 700 and a substandard product groove 710 are arranged below the rotating disc 300, the plurality of good product grooves 700 are distributed at intervals around the rotation axis of the rotating disc 300, the plurality of good product grooves 700 correspond to the plurality of implant diameter models one by one, and all the good product grooves 700 are located directly below the rotation track of the limiting hole 310, and the substandard product groove 710 is also located directly below the rotation track of the limiting hole 310.
[0087] When the image detection device detects that the implant 10 to be detected is a qualified product, the controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate to make the limiting hole 310 rotate above the corresponding good product groove 700 according to the diameter model information of the implant 10 to be detected, and then the limiting member releases the implant to fall into the corresponding good product groove 700, so as to sort and store the qualified implant. When the image detection device detects that the implant 10 to be detected is a substandard product, the controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate to make the limiting hole 310 rotate above the substandard product groove 710, and the limiting member releases the implant to fall into the corresponding substandard product groove 710, so as to collect the substandard implant.
[0088] Referring to Figures 3 to 4 The detection method of the present application is as follows:
[0089] A standard implant is placed in the above-mentioned implant cleaning, detecting and sorting integrated device, the standard implant is a qualified product, and then the standard implant falls into the limiting hole 310 of the rotating disc 300 through the diameter sorting assembly 100 and the conveying channel 200, and then the controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate to make the standard implant rotate below the first image collector 400, and the first image collector 400 captures the standard overhead image of the standard implant, and then the controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate to make the standard implant rotate in front of the lens of the second image collector 500, and the second image collector 500 captures the standard side view image of the standard implant.
[0090] The plurality of standard implants of different diameters are placed into the cleaning, detecting and sorting integrated device one by one, to obtain standard top view images and standard side view images of the plurality of standard implants of different diameters, and the standard top view images and the standard side view images are stored in the image detecting device.
[0091] The finished implant 10 to be detected is placed into the collecting box of the cleaning, detecting and sorting integrated device, the diameter sorting assembly 100 transfers the implant 10 to be detected into the corresponding sorting slide 110, the laser sensor 600 detects the implant 10 to be detected sliding down, the clamp 120 is activated to limit the implant 10 to be detected in the cleaning space 112, the laser sensor 600 works to make the controller obtain the diameter information of the implant 10 to be detected, and then the implant 10 to be detected is washed and dried by the washing and drying mechanism 130 of the cleaning station 111 to remove oil stains and debris on the outer surface of the implant 10 to be detected.
[0092] The clamp 120 is opened to make the implant 10 to be detected enter the conveying channel 200, the controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate according to the diameter information of the implant 10 to be detected, so that the corresponding limiting hole 310 is rotated to below the bottom end of the conveying channel 200, and then the implant 10 to be detected falls from the conveying channel 200 into the limiting hole 310 and is clamped by the limiting piece.
[0093] The controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate to make the implant 10 to be detected rotate directly below the first image collector 400, the first image collector 400 shoots a top view image of the implant 10 to be detected, and the image detecting device calls the standard top view image of the standard implant of the corresponding type according to the diameter information of the implant 10 to be detected.
[0094] The image detecting device compares the top view image with the standard top view image, such as the interface shape, the interface appearance, the interface diameter, the crown end diameter and the like, and then checks whether the top view image has extra feature points, such as burrs, scratches or edge collapse and the like, if the interface shape, the interface appearance, the interface diameter, the crown end diameter and the like of the top view image and the standard top view image are compared, the similarity of the information is compared, and the similarity threshold value can be freely set by the user. When the similarity is greater than the threshold value, and there is no extra feature point, it is proved that the top view image of the implant 10 to be detected is qualified, and subsequent detection is performed. Otherwise, the controller controls the rotating disc 300 to rotate to make the implant 10 to be detected rotate above the defective groove 710, and then the limiting piece releases the implant 10 to be detected to fall into the defective groove 710.
[0095] Reference Figure 3In the embodiment, the interface of the measured implant 10 and the standard implant is a regular hexagon. The image detection device measures the angle between the first corner and the reference line, which is a horizontal extension line to the left. The angle in the standard top view is a, and the angle in the top view of the measured implant 10 is b. When the first image collector 400 captures the measured implant 10 and the standard implant at the same position, the measured implant 10 and the standard implant are machined by the same machining program, and the same interface shape has the same obvious features and key points. Therefore, the shapes of the measured implant 10 and the standard implant are theoretically completely consistent. According to the comparison between the top view and the standard top view, the deflection angle θ of the measured implant 10 relative to the standard implant around the vertical axis is a-b, that is, the difference between the interface angle of the measured implant and the interface angle of the standard implant is θ°.
[0096] Then the controller controls the rotation of the turntable 300 to rotate the measured implant 10 to the lower side of the rotating member 800. The lifting mechanism of the rotating member 800 drives the rotating mechanism to descend, and the joint of the rotating mechanism is inserted into the interface of the measured implant 10. According to the deflection angle θ°, the rotating mechanism rotates θ°, so that the measured implant 10 and the standard implant have the same angle at the same position.
[0097] The controller controls the rotation of the turntable 300 to rotate the measured implant 10 to the front of the lens of the second image collector 500, and the second image collector 500 captures the side view of the measured implant 10.
[0098] The image detection device compares the side view with the standard side view, such as the appearance of the outer contour, the radius, the taper angle, the thread shape, the thread pitch, the coincidence degree of the thread, the coincidence degree of the cutting edge, and other information. Then, the distinguishing features such as burrs, scratches, or edge collapse are checked. If the appearance of the outer contour, the radius, the taper angle, the thread shape, the thread pitch, the coincidence degree of the thread, the coincidence degree of the cutting edge, and other information of the side view and the standard side view are similar, the similarity threshold can be freely set by the user. When the similarity is greater than the threshold, and there is no extra feature point, it is proved that the side view of the measured implant 10 is qualified. Then the controller controls the turntable 300 to rotate the qualified implant to the upper side of the good product groove 700 corresponding to the diameter type, and the limiting member releases the implant to fall into the corresponding good product groove 700, thereby completing the type sorting of the implant. Otherwise, the controller controls the turntable 300 to rotate the qualified implant to the upper side of the defective product groove 710, and the limiting member releases the implant to fall into the corresponding defective product groove 710.
[0099] When the above-mentioned image detection device compares the top view image with the standard top view image, the image recognition uses the SIFT or SURF method. If the angles are different, the SIFT and SURF methods can still find the key points in the same position in the original image and rotate them to a fixed direction, thereby ensuring the rotation invariance. At the same time, the rotation angle θ of the image can be accurately calculated, the features of the rotated image are extracted, and the image is matched with the standard image. The local features of the implant interface can be used to compare the similarity of the two images, and even subtle differences can be detected.
[0100] Specifically, the SIFT and SURF methods can measure the similarity between two images by calculating the distance between the local feature vectors in the two images. Common distance measures include Euclidean distance, Hamming distance, etc. If the distance between most local feature vectors in the two images is small, they are considered to be similar, i.e. the size of the implant 10 to be tested is qualified, otherwise they are considered to be dissimilar. In summary, whether the multiple sizes of the interface are qualified can be determined by taking pictures of the implant interface.
[0101] When the above-mentioned image detection device compares the side view image with the standard side view image, the SIFT or SURF method can also be used.
[0102] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the present application. These equivalent modifications or replacements are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
