[0066] Embodiment 2
[0067] One specific embodiment of the application is improved on the basis of embodiment 1:
[0068] In this embodiment, considering that the shapes of large-size workpieces are different, when the large-size workpiece of irregular shape is scanned, in order to ensure that the large-size workpiece can smoothly pass through the middle hole of the scanning assembly, the position of the large-size workpiece needs to be adjusted, the alignment direction of the large-size workpiece and the scanning assembly is adjusted to be consistent with the length direction and the conveying direction, so that the large-size workpiece can be smoothly scanned.
[0069] In this embodiment, the support platform 11 of the workpiece conveying mechanism 1 is improved and designed, so that the orientation adjustment of the large-size workpiece can be realized under the premise of bearing and lifting the large-size workpiece.
[0070] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 13 the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are rotatably installed on the support platform 11; wherein the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 can push the workpiece to be measured 3 to rotate when rotating; the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 can push the workpiece to be measured 3 to displace left and right along the width direction of the support platform 11 when rotating; that is, in this embodiment, the shortest side of the workpiece to be measured 3 is aligned with the middle scanning hole of the scanning assembly by adjusting the rotation of the workpiece to be measured 3 by the first adjusting roller assembly 1101, so that the passability of the large-size workpiece is realized. The workpiece to be measured 3 is aligned with the middle scanning hole of the scanning assembly by adjusting the left and right offset of the workpiece to be measured 3 by the second adjusting roller assembly 1102, so that the risk of not being able to pass through the scanning system or being side-scratched due to the offset of the workpiece to be measured 3 is avoided.
[0071] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 13 the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 is provided with a plurality of groups of central symmetry; preferably, the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 is provided with four groups, and the four groups of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 are arranged at an interval of 90° in the circumferential direction.
[0072] Further, in the embodiment, the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 is arranged in one or more groups along the length direction of the support platform 11; the rotation axis of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 is parallel to the conveying direction of the workpiece conveying mechanism 1; that is, the rotation axis of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 is perpendicular to the scanning system.
[0073] Specifically, when the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 is arranged in multiple groups, the multiple groups of second adjusting roller assemblies 1102 are arranged in a linear manner, as shown in Figure 13
[0074] Further, the support platform 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 1103 and a second mounting groove 1104; the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 is rotatably mounted in the first mounting groove 1103, and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 is rotatably mounted in the second mounting groove 1104.
[0075] In the embodiment, the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 each include a rotating shaft 1105 and a rotating roller 1106; the rotating roller 1106 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 1105 and can be driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 1105; the rotating roller 1106 has a cam structure, and when the rotating shaft 1105 drives the rotating roller 1106 to rotate, the protruding part of the rotating roller 1106 rotates out of the upper surface of the support platform 11 or rotates into the first mounting groove 1103.
[0076] Preferably, a plurality of rotating rollers 1106 are fixedly mounted on one rotating shaft 1105; as shown in Figure 14 three rotating rollers 1106 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 1105, and when the rotating shaft 1105 rotates, the three rotating rollers 1106 can be driven to rotate synchronously.
[0077] Specifically, in the present application, the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are independently driven, and the rotating movements of the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are not performed at the same time; that is, the azimuth angle adjustment and the left-right displacement adjustment of the workpiece 3 by the adjusting roller assembly are independently performed.
[0078] In implementation, in the process that the rotating roller 1106 of the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 rotates out of the upper surface of the support platform 11 and rolls in contact with the lower surface of the workpiece 3, the workpiece 3 can be pushed to rotate around the center of the multiple groups of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101, thereby adjusting the azimuth angle of the workpiece 3; in the process that the rotating roller 1106 of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 rotates out of the upper surface of the support platform 11 and rolls in contact with the lower surface of the workpiece 3, the workpiece 3 can be pushed to shift left and right, thereby aligning the middle scanning hole of the scanning assembly.
[0079] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 15 , Figure 16 , the rotating roller 1106 is composed of a rotating drum 1106a and a half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b.
[0080] Specifically, the rotating drum 1106a is a cylindrical drum.
[0081] Specifically, as shown in Figure 16 , the two half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the rotating drum 1106a.
[0082] Further, as shown in Figure 15 , the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are arranged in multiple groups along the axis direction of the rotating drum 1106a.
[0083] In this embodiment, the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are made of rubber material to avoid surface damage to the workpiece 3 when pushing the workpiece 3 to move.
[0084] Further, when the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are vertically upward, the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b of the rotating roller 1106 protrude above the upper surface of the support platform 11 and can contact the workpiece on the support platform 11; when the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are horizontally, the rotating roller 1106 is lower than the upper surface of the support platform 11 and does not contact the workpiece 3 on the support platform 11.
[0085] In implementation, in the process of rotating the rotating roller 1106 driven by the rotating shaft 1105, the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b continuously exert lateral force on the workpiece 3 on the support platform 11, thereby pushing the workpiece 3 to rotate circumferentially or translate.
[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, two groups of second adjusting roller assemblies 1102 are arranged coaxially, and the two rotating shafts 1105 of the two groups of second adjusting roller assemblies 1102 are fixedly connected and can rotate synchronously under the drive of the first rotating motor.
[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 14 , the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 further comprises a synchronous gear 1107; the synchronous gear 1107 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 1105; and the diameter of the synchronous gear 1107 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating drum 1106a of the rotating roller 1106, thereby keeping the synchronous gear 1107 below the upper surface of the support platform 11 to avoid contact between the synchronous gear 1107 and the workpiece 3.
[0088] Furthermore, multiple sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 rotate synchronously under the drive of the second rotary motor and rotary transmission assembly.
[0089] like Figure 17 As shown, the rotary transmission assembly includes: a first drive gear 1108, a driven gear 1109, a first bevel gear 1110, a second bevel gear 1111, a transmission rod 1112, and a transmission gear 1114.
[0090] Specifically, the first drive gear 1108 is horizontally arranged below the support platform 11, and the first drive gear 1108 simultaneously meshes with multiple driven gears 1109, which can drive the multiple driven gears 1109 to rotate synchronously.
[0091] Furthermore, the first bevel gear 1110 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 1109 via the second positioning shaft 1116, and the first bevel gear 1110 is arranged side by side above the driven gear 1109; in this embodiment, by setting the first bevel gear 1110 and the driven gear 1109 to be coaxially mounted, the synchronous rotation of the two is achieved.
[0092] Furthermore, the first bevel gear 1110 meshes with the second bevel gear 1111 for transmission; in this embodiment, the rotation axis direction is changed from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 1110 and the second bevel gear 1111, thereby realizing the rotation of the vertically set second bevel gear 1111.
[0093] Furthermore, the transmission rod 1112 is disposed below the support platform 11 and parallel to the support platform 11; a second bevel gear 1111 is fixedly mounted on one end of the transmission rod 1112, and a transmission gear 1114 is fixedly mounted on the other end; the transmission gear 1114 is disposed below the support platform 11, and the transmission gear 1114 meshes with the synchronization gear 1107. In this embodiment, rotational power is transmitted to the synchronization gears 1107 of the four sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 through four sets of transmission rods 1112 and transmission gears 1114, thereby enabling the synchronous rotation of the four sets of rotating shafts 1105 and rotating rollers 1106, and when multiple rotating rollers 1106 rotate synchronously, they can simultaneously apply a thrust to the support platform 11 to promote its rotational movement.
[0094] In the embodiment, when the rotating roller 1106 rotates to the state that the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b on the surface of the rotating roller 1106 are above the upper surface of the support platform 11, the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b can exert an oblique upward force on the workpiece 3 above the support platform 11, and the vertical component of the oblique force can achieve the effect of slightly lifting the workpiece 3, thereby reducing the mutual friction between the workpiece 3 and the surface of the support platform 11 during rotation of the workpiece 3; and the horizontal component of the oblique force can promote the rotation of the workpiece 3, thereby achieving the circumferential orientation adjustment of the workpiece 3.
[0095] In implementation, the first driving gear 1108 is driven to rotate by the second rotating motor, thereby synchronously driving the plurality of driven gears 1109 to rotate, the first bevel gear 1110 is synchronously driven by the driven gears 1109 to rotate and drives the second bevel gear 1111 to rotate, when the second bevel gear 1111 rotates, the transmission rod 1112 is driven to rotate by the second bevel gear 1111, thereby driving the transmission gear 1114 to rotate by the transmission rod 1112, and further driving the synchronous gear 1107 to rotate by the transmission gear 1114, thereby achieving the synchronous rotation of the plurality of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101.
[0096] Further, the number of the driven gears 1109, the transmission rod 1112 and the transmission gear 1114 is equal to the number of the first adjusting roller assemblies 1101.
[0097] Specifically, as shown in Figure 17 the first driving gear 1108 is fixedly connected with the first positioning shaft 1115 and is rotatably installed below the support platform 11 through the first positioning shaft 1115; and the first positioning shaft 1115 is perpendicular to the support platform 11.
[0098] Specifically, as shown in Figure 17 a plurality of second positioning shafts 1116 are arranged around the first positioning shaft 1115; and further, the second positioning shafts 1116 are rotatably installed below the support platform 11 through bearings.
[0099] Specifically, as shown in Figure 17 at least one transmission rod support 1113 is arranged on the transmission rod 1112, and the transmission rod support 1113 is fixedly connected with the lower surface of the support platform 11; the transmission rod 1112 is rotatably connected with the transmission rod support 1113 through a bearing, thereby the transmission rod 1112 is rotatably hung below the support platform 11 through the transmission rod support 1113.
[0100] In the embodiment, by setting the rotating transmission assembly, the synchronous rotation of the multiple sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 is realized by the meshing of the multiple transmission gears 1114 and the synchronous gears 1107 of the multiple sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101. When the multiple sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 rotate synchronously, the lateral force can be simultaneously provided to the workpiece 3 above the supporting platform 11, and the multiple sets of lateral thrust provided by the multiple sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 are continuous in the circumferential direction, thereby the workpiece 3 can be pushed to rotate. That is, the rotating torques provided by the multiple sets of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 to the workpiece are in the same direction, and are all used for pushing the workpiece 3 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, realizing the superposition of the multiple sets of rotating torques, and realizing the circumferential angle adjustment of the workpiece 3 under the premise of minimizing the surface force acting on the workpiece 3.
