[0002] In the current field of instrument calibration, fully autonomous pressure gauge calibration equipment has not yet matured. This is mainly due to the diverse specifications of pressure gauges, such as external dimensions, joint dimensions, and measuring ranges, as well as complex and cumbersome calibration processes and multiple standard calibration methods. The traditional mechanical pressure gauge calibration is performed by the calibrator manually turning the movable nut to fix the pressure gauge to the output port of the pressure source, and then going through the process of segmented pressurization, tapping the case, reading the pointer reading, recording the reading, and unloading the pressure gauge. The operation steps are cumbersome and highly dependent on manual experience, resulting in low pressure gauge calibration efficiency, and the calibration accuracy will also vary depending on the working status and proficiency of the person. This method not only makes the workers have high labor intensity and extremely low calibration efficiency, and cannot meet the needs of batch calibration, but also because the reading and pressure control are both manual operations, the accuracy of the calibration results cannot be guaranteed, and there are certain safety hazards.

[0032] The present invention effectively combines the calibration process with the image recognition module to achieve direct printing and output of a two-dimensional code certificate from the pressure gauge calibration, thereby improving the convenience of operation.
[0033] In step 201, when the first turnover manipulator 10 moves the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated onto the conveyor belt 8, it is necessary to ensure that the front side of the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated faces upward; the first turnover manipulator 10 is equipped with a vacuum suction cup, which absorbs the glass, i.e., the front side of the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated. If the vacuum suction cup cannot absorb the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated, it means that the back side of the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated faces upward, and the first turnover manipulator 10 needs to turn the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated over so that its front side faces upward. The front side of the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated is glass with a smooth surface, while the back side of the pressure gauge 22 to be calibrated is generally threaded or concave, and is not as smooth as the front side.
[0034] In step 201, step 301 and step 401, when the shut-off valve pressure gauge connectors 17 in the pressure gauge calibration area are all connected to the pressure gauges 22 to be calibrated, the second turnover robot 14 in the pressure gauge to be inspected unit moves the unconnected pressure gauges 22 to be calibrated to one side of the calibration component, and the side of the calibration component can be used as a pressure gauge storage area.
[0035] The variation values described in step 202, step 302 and step 402 are the maximum allowable variation values required by the regulations.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a deviation correction member 27 is provided at the entrance of the first pressure gauge to be inspected unit, which is mainly used to ensure that the front side of the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected faces upward, so that the subsequent image recognition module can work normally. The deviation correction member 27 is a V-shaped structure, and the open end of the deviation correction member 27 is close to the rotary drive platform 1. The deviation correction member 27 is composed of two baffles, and the two baffles are elastically connected. The bottom of the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected is provided with an adapter. When the front side of the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected faces upward, the adapter at the bottom of the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected can directly push the deviation correction member 27 open, so that the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected can be smoothly transferred to the first pressure gauge to be inspected unit; if the reverse side of the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected faces upward, the top of the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected cannot push the deviation correction member 27 open, so that the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected cannot be smoothly transferred to the first pressure gauge to be inspected unit, then the first turnover manipulator 10 needs to turn over the pressure gauge 22 to be inspected and then pass through the deviation correction member 27.
[0037] In this embodiment, in step 202, step 302 and step 402, the third image recognition module 16 corresponding to the stop valve pressure gauge connector 17 connected to the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 identifies the indication of the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22; the controller controls the pressure source 15 in the pressure gauge to be calibrated unit to work, pressurizes the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 connected to the stop valve pressure gauge connector 17, and performs point-by-point error detection according to the indication of the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 to obtain the measurement error of each indication. If the measurement error of each indication meets the allowable error, the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 is qualified, otherwise, the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 is unqualified.
[0038] In this embodiment, in step 202, step 302 and step 402, when the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 fails the calibration, the second turnover robot 14 in the pressure gauge to be calibrated unit removes the pressure gauge to be calibrated 22 from the stop valve pressure gauge connector 17 and places it into the pressure gauge calibration failure zone 9 in the pressure gauge to be calibrated unit.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
