[0102] In the embodiment, considering that the shapes of large-size workpieces are different, when the large-size workpiece with 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.

[0103] In the embodiment, the bearing platform 11 of the workpiece conveying mechanism 1 is improved and designed, so that the bearing platform 11 can realize the orientation adjustment of the large-size workpiece under the premise of bearing and lifting the large-size workpiece.

[0104] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9 In the embodiment, the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are rotatably installed on the bearing platform 11; when the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 rotates, the to-be-detected workpiece 3 can be pushed to rotate; when the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 rotates, the to-be-detected workpiece 3 can be pushed to displace left and right along the width direction of the bearing platform 11; that is, in the embodiment, the to-be-detected workpiece 3 is adjusted to rotate by the first adjusting roller assembly 1101, so that the shortest side of the to-be-detected workpiece 3 can be aligned with the middle scanning hole of the scanning assembly, and the passability of the large-size workpiece is realized. The to-be-detected workpiece 3 is adjusted to displace left and right by the second adjusting roller assembly 1102, so that the to-be-detected workpiece 3 can be aligned with the middle scanning hole of the scanning assembly, and the risk of being unable to pass through the scanning system or being side-scratched due to the displacement of the to-be-detected workpiece 3 is avoided.

[0105] Further, as shown in Figure 9 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 intervals of 90° in the circumferential direction.

[0106] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one or more sets of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are arranged along the length direction of the bearing 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 set perpendicular to the scanning system.

[0107] Specifically, when multiple sets of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are provided, the multiple sets of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are arranged linearly, such as... Figure 9 As shown.

[0108] Furthermore, 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.

[0109] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, both the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 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 protrusion of the rotating roller 1106 rotates out of the upper surface of the bearing platform 11 or rotates into the first mounting groove 1103.

[0110] Preferably, multiple rotating rollers 1106 are fixedly mounted on a rotating shaft 1105; for example... Figure 10 As shown, three rotating rollers 1106 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 1105. When the rotating shaft 1105 rotates, it can drive the three rotating rollers 1106 to rotate synchronously.

[0111] Specifically, in this invention, the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are driven independently, and the rotational movements of the first adjusting roller assembly 1101 and the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are not performed simultaneously; that is, the adjusting roller assembly adjusts the orientation angle and the left and right displacement of the workpiece 3 to be measured independently.

[0112] 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 bearing platform 11 and rolls in contact with the lower surface of the workpiece 3 to be tested, the workpiece 3 to be tested can be pushed to rotate around the center of symmetry of the multiple groups of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101, so as to realize the adjustment of the azimuth angle of the workpiece 3 to be tested; in the process that the rotating roller 1106 of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 rotates out of the upper surface of the bearing platform 11 and rolls in contact with the lower surface of the workpiece 3 to be tested, the workpiece 3 to be tested can be pushed to shift left and right, so as to align the middle scanning hole of the scanning assembly.

[0113] In one specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 11 、 Figure 12 , the rotating roller 1106 is composed of a rotating drum 1106a and a half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b.

[0114] Specifically, the rotating drum 1106a is a cylindrical drum.

[0115] Specifically, as shown in Figure 11 , the two half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are arranged in a group and symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the rotating drum 1106a.

[0116] Further, as shown in Figure 12 , multiple groups of the half-moon-shaped protrusions 1106b are arranged along the axis direction of the rotating drum 1106a.

[0117] In the present embodiment, the half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b is made of rubber material to avoid surface damage to the workpiece 3 to be tested when pushing the workpiece 3 to be tested to move.

[0118] Further, when the half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b is vertically upward, the half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b of the rotating roller 1106 protrudes from the upper surface of the bearing platform 11 and can contact the workpiece on the bearing platform 11; when the half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b is horizontal, the rotating roller 1106 is lower than the upper surface of the bearing platform 11 and does not contact the workpiece 3 to be tested on the bearing platform 11.

[0119] In implementation, in the process that the rotating shaft 1105 drives the rotating roller 1106 to rotate, the half-moon-shaped protrusion 1106b continuously applies a lateral force to the workpiece 3 to be tested on the bearing platform 11, so as to push the workpiece 3 to be tested to rotate circumferentially or translate.

[0120] In one specific embodiment of the present application, two groups of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are arranged coaxially; the two rotating shafts 1105 of the two groups of the second adjusting roller assembly 1102 are fixedly connected and can synchronously rotate under the drive of the first rotating motor.

[0121] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 The first adjusting roller assembly 1101 further comprises a synchronous gear 1107, which is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 1105 and has a diameter smaller than that of the rotating roller 1106, so as to keep the synchronous gear 1107 below the upper surface of the bearing platform 11 and avoid contact between the synchronous gear 1107 and the workpiece 3 to be measured.

[0122] Further, the plurality of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 are synchronously rotated under the driving of the second rotating motor and the rotating transmission assembly. Specifically, when the number of the second rotating motor is equal to that of the first adjusting roller assemblies 1101, the synchronous gear 1107 is not required, and the first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 can be directly rotated by the second rotating motor; when the number of the second rotating motor is less than that of the first adjusting roller assemblies, the synchronous gear 1107 and the rotating transmission assembly are required, and the plurality of first adjusting roller assemblies 1101 are synchronously rotated by the synchronous gear 1107 and the rotating transmission assembly.

[0123] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
