DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1: A car radiator core light leak detection instrument, reference Figure 1-Figure 7 , including a workbench 1, a bracket 2, a detector 3, a fixed column 4, a translation column 5, a rotating frame 6, a driving mechanism, an electric clamp 7, a slide bar 8, a sealing block 9, a light source generator 91 and a trapezoidal block 10. The bracket 2 is welded to the front side of the top of the workbench 1, and the detector 3 is installed on the upper part of the bracket 2. The fixed column 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the bracket 2, and the translation column 5 driven by the electric slide rail is slidably connected to the right side of the top of the bracket 2. The upper sides of the fixed column 4 and the translation column 5 that are close to each other are both rotatably connected to the rotating frame 6. The fixed column 4 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the rotating frame 6 to rotate. The two rotating frames 6 that are close to each other are both rotatably connected to a pair of electric clamps 7. The rotating frame 6 is slidably connected to a pair of slide bars 8, and the slide bars 8 are connected to the rotating frame 6. A return spring is fixedly connected between them, a sealing block 9 is fixedly connected between each pair of sliding rods 8, and a light source generator 91 is installed on the side where the two sealing blocks 9 are close to each other. In the present embodiment, the detector 3 is specifically a charge coupled device, which can capture the light emitted by the light source generator 91; a trapezoidal block 10 is fixedly connected to the middle part of each pair of sliding rods 8, and the electric clamp 7 includes a rotating shaft 71. The driving method of the electric clamp 7 is the existing technology. Specifically, the electric clamp 7 rotates around the rotating shaft 71. A slope 72 is provided on the side of the electric clamp 7 close to the trapezoidal block 10. When a pair of electric clamps 7 rotate in a direction approaching each other, the electric clamp 7 squeezes the trapezoidal block 10 through the slope 72 to move the sealing block 9 so that the sealing block 9 extends into the end of the detection member 30.

[0030] refer to Figure 2-Figure 7 The driving mechanism includes a gear 1 61, a gear 2 62, a motor 63 and a rotating rod 64. The rotating frame 6 is coaxially connected with the gear 1 61. The upper left part of the fixed column 4 is bolted with the motor 63. The output shaft of the motor 63 is fixedly connected with the gear 1 61 on the left. The fixed column 4 and the middle part of the translation column 5 are rotatably connected with the gear 2 62. The two gears 2 62 are respectively meshed with the two gears 1 61. The left gear 2 62 is coaxially connected with the rotating rod 64. The right end of the rotating rod 64 passes through the translation column 5. Figure 7 As shown, the right end of the rotating rod 64 is spline-connected to the right gear 2 62 .

[0031] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The automobile radiator core light leakage detection instrument also includes a placement mechanism, which includes a guide rod 111 and a placement plate 112. A pair of guide rods 111 that slide up and down are provided on the front side of the top of the workbench 1. Tension springs are fixedly connected between the guide rods 111 and the workbench 1. The tops of the two guide rods 111 are commonly fixedly connected with a placement plate 112 for placing the detection member 30.

[0032] First, in a dark environment, place the detection piece 30 on the placement plate 112 so that the detection piece 30 is located between the two sealing blocks 9, and control the electric clamp 7 to rotate with the rotating shaft 71 as the axis in the direction close to the sealing block 9. The two pairs of electric clamps 7 clamp the ends of the detection piece 30. At the same time, the rotating electric clamp 7 squeezes the trapezoidal block 10 through the inclined surface 72, so that the two trapezoidal blocks 10 are close to each other in the left and right directions. The sealing block 9 and the sliding rod 8 move together with the trapezoidal block 10, the reset spring is compressed, and the two sealing blocks 9 are respectively extended into the interior of the two ends of the detection piece 30. At this time, the light source generator 91 is located inside the detection piece 30.

[0033] Control the light source generator 91 to emit light, and detect the light leakage points on the top surface of the detection member 30 through the detector 3; then control the motor 63 to drive the gear 1 61 on the left to rotate clockwise, driving the rotating frame 6 on the left to rotate clockwise, and the gear 1 61 on the left makes the gear 2 62 on the left rotate counterclockwise through meshing. Since the right end of the rotating rod 64 is spline-connected with the gear 2 62 on the right, the gear 2 62 on the left will drive the rotating rod 64 and the gear 2 62 on the right to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear 2 62 on the right makes the gear 1 61 on the right and the rotating frame 6 on the right rotate clockwise through meshing, so that the two rotating frames 6 rotate synchronously, and the rotating rotating frame 6 drives the electric clamp 7 and the clamped detection member 30 to rotate together, so that the other side of the detection member 30 faces the detector 3, and the other side of the detection member 30 can be detected by the detector 3. When the detection member 30 is rotated and reset, the placement plate 112 and the guide rod 111 are reset to the initial position by the tension spring. In this way, the motor 63 is controlled to make the detection member 30 continue to rotate, so as to complete the light leakage detection of the four sides of the detection member 30. If no light leakage is detected on the four sides of the detection member 30, the detection member 30 is qualified. If a light leakage is detected on one side of the detection member 30, the detection member 30 is unqualified. Therefore, a single detection member 30 is automatically and comprehensively tested for leakage by means of light illumination, and tiny light leakage points can be accurately detected. The detection effect is good, the detection process is automated, and the detection efficiency is high.

[0034] Finally, the electric clamp 7 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction with the rotating shaft 71 as the axis, the inclined surface 72 of the electric clamp 7 no longer squeezes the trapezoidal block 10, the reset spring is restored, the trapezoidal block 10, the sealing block 9 and the sliding rod 8 are reset, the sealing block 9 is separated from the detection part 30, and the detection part 30 that has been detected can be removed.

[0035] When it is necessary to detect detection parts 30 of different lengths, the electric slide rail is controlled to drive the translation column 5 to translate in the left and right directions, driving the gear 1 61 on the right side, the gear 2 62 on the right side, the rotating frame 6 on the right side, the electric clamp 7 on the right side, the slide rod 8 on the right side and the sealing block 9 on the right side to translate together, so that the distance between the two sealing blocks 9 can be adapted to the length of the detection part 30. Since the right end of the rotating rod 64 is spline-connected with the gear 2 62 on the right side, the gear 2 62 on the right side can slide left and right relative to the rotating rod 64, and the rotating rod 64 can continue to drive the gear 2 62 on the right side to rotate.

The top of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 121, and the top of the connecting seat 121 is fixedly connected to a hollow placement frame 122. The bottom of the placement frame 122 is open, and a discharge port for a detection member 30 to pass through is formed between the bottom of the placement frame 122 and the top of the connecting seat 121; the connecting seat 1 An electric push rod 123 is bolted on 21, and a translation rod 124 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 123. A push rod 125 for pushing out the detection member 30 located at the discharge port is symmetrically fixedly connected to the front side of the translation rod 124. A limit plate 126 that slides left and right is provided on the right part of the placement frame 122. A cavity for storing the detection member 30 is formed between the left side of the limit plate 126 and the placement frame 122. A connecting rod 127 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the limit plate 126, and the connecting rod 127 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the translation column 5.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Fig.11 The automobile radiator core light leakage detection instrument also includes a positioning mechanism, which includes a guide rod 131 and a baffle 132. A pair of guide rods 131 that slide up and down are provided on the upper part of the bracket 2, and a baffle 132 for positioning the detection member 30 on the placement plate 112 is fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the two guide rods 131.

[0038] Initially, a detection piece 30 is placed on the top of the placement plate 112, and a row of detection pieces 30 to be detected are placed in the cavity. Two ejection rods 125 pass through the discharge port, and the ejection rods 125 block the detection piece 30 at the bottom of the cavity. The detection piece 30 in the cavity is limited by the limit plate 126, so that the detection pieces 30 in the cavity are arranged neatly in the left and right directions; when the detection of the detection piece 30 on the placement plate 112 is completed, the electric clamp 7 is controlled to release the detection piece 30, and the detection piece 30 is removed, and then the electric push rod 123 is controlled to drive the translation rod 124 to translate backward, driving the ejection rod 125 to translate backward, and the ejection rod 125 will leave the discharge port, and the ejection rod 125 will no longer block the detection piece 30 in the cavity, and the detection piece 30 at the bottom of the cavity will be removed. 0 falls down to the discharge port, and then controls the electric push rod 123 to drive the translation rod 124 to translate forward and reset, driving the ejection rod 125 to translate forward and reset, and the ejection rod 125 pushes the detection piece 30 at the discharge port to the placement plate 112, and the front side of the detection piece 30 will contact the rear side of the baffle 132, and the baffle 132 will be used to position the detection piece 30, so as to automatically push the detection piece 30 to the placement plate 112 for detection, and the loading process is automated, and the detection efficiency is higher; when the translation column 5 translates in the left and right directions to detect detection pieces 30 of different lengths, the translation column 5 will drive the connecting rod 127 and the limit plate 126 to translate synchronously to adjust the length of the cavity, and the position of the limit plate 126 can adapt to detection pieces 30 of different lengths.
