DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the full inspection equipment of the valve core of the automobile solenoid valve includes a frame 1, on which are arranged a radial hole inspection unit 2, a composite inspection unit 3 and a surface foreign matter inspection unit 4 for inspecting the valve core in sequence according to the inspection sequence.
[0032] That is, the solenoid valve core is transferred by the robot between the various detection units, and passes through multiple tests of the radial hole detection unit 2, the composite detection unit 3 and the surface foreign matter detection unit 4 in sequence, and the workpieces with substandard processing dimensions are classified. During the process, the valve core's station transfer, angle position adjustment and detection instrument movement are all carried out automatically without human intervention, which ensures the efficiency of product detection and avoids the situation where human-caused detection errors are caused.
[0033] The radial hole detection unit 2 includes a valve core correction component 21 that drives the lying valve core to be detected to rotate to a set angle so that the radial hole of the valve core is in an upright state, and also includes a radial hole detection component 22 having a radial hole detection position and a valve core material removal position.
[0034] A radial hole connected to the shaft hole is provided on the side arc surface of the solenoid valve core. When detecting the radial hole, the valve core needs to be rotated to a predetermined angle so that the radial hole can be aligned with the stop gauge of the radial hole detection equipment.
[0035] The composite detection unit 3 comprises a rotary disc type mechanical handling assembly 31 for obtaining at least a valve core at a position to be taken from the valve core, and at least one shape detection assembly 32 and at least one axial hole detection assembly 33 which are sequentially distributed along the handling track direction of the rotary disc type mechanical handling assembly 31 .
[0036] The composite detection unit 3 is designed to arrange the detection components in sequence around a circular turntable, and the turntable is used instead of the moving track of the manipulator, which greatly saves the space occupied by the track facilities.
[0037] The surface foreign matter detection unit 4 includes a top detection component 41, and a bottom lighting component 42 having a detection position and a material position to be taken. When the bottom lighting component 42 is in the detection position, the turntable mechanical handling component 31 releases the valve core to be detected onto the bottom lighting component 42 and the top detection component 41 is located directly above the bottom lighting component 42.
[0038] In this embodiment, the valve core correction assembly 21 includes at least one valve core bearing seat 211 and at least one valve core rotation driving manipulator 212 corresponding to the valve core bearing seat 211, and a first detection sensor 213 for detecting the radial hole position is provided on the valve core bearing seat 211.
[0039] A V-shaped bearing groove for horizontally placing the valve core is provided on the valve core bearing seat 211. A positioning plate with an arc-shaped notch is provided at one end of the bearing groove. The end face of the large-diameter cylindrical part of the valve core is pressed against the positioning plate, and the small-diameter cylindrical part at one end of the valve core passes through the arc-shaped notch to the other end of the positioning plate. A push rod driven by a cylinder is provided at the other end of the bearing groove. The push rod axially presses against the end of the valve core to ensure that the large cylinder of the valve core is pressed against the positioning plate, thereby determining the position of the valve core in the bearing groove, so that the axial position of the radial hole is aligned with the first detection sensor 213.
[0040] At this time, the valve core in the valve core supporting seat 211 is just at the rotation axis of the valve core rotation driving manipulator 212, and the two clamping blocks that open and close on the left and right close to clamp the valve core through the positioning plate to the small cylinder at the outer end, and rotate at the same time so that the photoelectric sensor is aligned with the first detection sensor 213 of the rotation axis to test the circumferential surface of the valve core and locate the angle of the radial hole of the valve core.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first detection sensor 213 is a photoelectric sensor and is arranged at an angle. When the detection light of the first detection sensor 213 passes through the radial hole, the valve core rotation drives the manipulator 212 to continue rotating the valve core and make the radial hole upright.
[0042] Due to the influence of the range of movement of the manipulator, the first detection sensor 213 can only be set on the side of the valve core support seat 211 for avoidance. Since the stop gauge for subsequent detection of the radial hole is vertically set above, the detection angle of the first detection sensor 213 needs to be pre-set. After the photoelectric sensor detects the radial hole of the valve core, it is rotated according to the preset angle of the first detection sensor 213 to ensure that the radial hole of the valve core is vertically facing upward.
[0043] In this embodiment, the radial hole detection assembly 22 includes a valve core bearing sliding seat 221 that slides relative to the frame 1. The valve core bearing sliding seat 221 has at least a radial hole detection position and a valve core waiting position. A radial hole detection check gauge 222 is also provided on the frame 1. The radial hole detection check gauge 222 is connected to the first lifting drive device 223; when the valve core bearing sliding seat 221 carries the valve core and moves to the radial hole detection position, the radial hole detection check gauge 222 detects the radial hole.
[0044] After the radial hole of the valve core is positioned at an angle, the manipulator uses a suction cup to vertically extract and move it to the valve core bearing sliding seat 221 on the valve core to be taken. The valve core bearing sliding seat 221 is also provided with a V-shaped bearing groove, and blocking plates are provided at both ends of the groove to form a slot similar to the shape of the valve core, which fully positions the valve core in the valve core bearing sliding seat 221. Subsequently, the valve core bearing sliding seat 221 is moved along the track by a conveyor belt driven by a motor to the radial hole detection position directly below the radial hole detection stop gauge 222. At this time, the radial hole is directly opposite to the radial hole detection stop gauge 222, and the first lifting drive device 223 drives the radial hole detection stop gauge 222 to descend and probe into the radial hole for detection. After the detection is completed, the radial hole detection stop gauge 222 rises upward, and the valve core bearing sliding seat 221 continues to move along the guide rail to the edge of the turntable of the turntable type mechanical handling assembly 31.
[0045] The manipulator used to transfer the valve core between the valve core correction component 21 and the radial hole detection component 22 is also specially provided with a vertically installed positioning rod. When the manipulator descends to absorb the valve core, the positioning rod will be inserted into the radial hole of the valve core to prevent the valve core from rotating during the transportation process of the manipulator.
[0046] The first lifting drive device 223 may be any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or a linear motor.
[0047] In this embodiment, there are two groups of shape detection components 32 and are defined as the first shape detection component and the second shape detection component, and there are two groups of axial hole detection components 33 and are defined as the first axial hole detection component and the second axial hole detection component. The first shape detection component, the first axial hole detection component, the second shape detection component and the second axial hole detection component are distributed in sequence in the direction of the conveying track.
[0048] The detection assembly includes a first shape detection assembly, a first axial hole detection assembly, a second shape detection assembly and a second axial hole detection assembly, and is distributed in the above order around the turntable of the turntable type mechanical handling assembly 31. Among them, the first shape detection assembly is a CCD detector, and the second shape detection assembly is a laser detector.
[0049] The bottom of the turntable is driven and controlled by a motor. There are multiple manipulators evenly distributed around the turntable and extending radially outward. A suction cup is installed at the end of the manipulator. A linear cylinder is connected to the turntable at the root of the manipulator, which is responsible for moving the manipulator that rotates to the top of the detection component downward to absorb the valve core.
[0050] The unloaded manipulator on the turntable first comes to the top of the valve core supporting sliding seat 221 as the turntable rotates. After the manipulator reaches down to absorb the valve core, it comes to the top of the first appearance detection component again with the turntable, places the valve core at the detection position and then rises. After the detection is completed, it absorbs the valve core again and rotates to the next detection station to cycle the above-mentioned actions of the manipulator. There is no reciprocating movement in the operation process of the manipulator, and it has the same lifting and lowering absorption rhythm, which can greatly improve the rotation efficiency of the valve core detection.
[0051] In this embodiment, the shape detection component 32 includes a shape detection support seat 321 fixed to the frame 1, and a shape detection mobile frame 322 that moves relative to the shape detection support seat 321. A shape detection device 323 is provided on the shape detection mobile frame 322, and the shape detection mobile frame 322 is connected to the shape frame driving device 324.
[0052] The frame 1 is provided with a linear guide rail for the appearance detection moving frame 322 to move, and the appearance detection moving frame 322 is controlled by a linear motor to move, and a CCD camera or a laser signal transceiver is installed at each end of the appearance detection moving frame 322. The appearance detection bearing seat 321 is set on the appearance detection moving frame 322, and a support plate for suspending the valve core is set on the appearance detection bearing seat 321, so that the support plate can reduce the horizontal obstruction of the valve core as much as possible, and a groove is provided on the support plate to stabilize the valve core from moving.
[0053] At this time, the cameras at both ends of the shape detection mobile frame 322 are mirror-distributed on both sides of the positioned valve core, and the shape frame driving device 324 drives the camera to move in the direction of the valve core axis, pausing to shoot at multiple path points, and taking images of both sides of the valve core for comparison to determine the symmetry of the valve core.
[0054] Among them, the lower end of the shape detection support seat 321 is also provided with a guide rail fixed on the frame 1 and perpendicular to the moving direction of the shape detection moving frame 322, which is used to translate and adjust the distance between the shape detection support seat 321 and the turntable, so as to realize the movement between the detection position and the valve core hinge position.
[0055] The axial hole detection assembly 33 includes at least one axial hole detection seat 331 and at least one axial hole go gauge 332 corresponding to the axial hole detection seat 331 . The axial hole go gauge 332 is connected to the axial hole seat driving device 333 .
[0056] The axial hole stop gauge 332 is set at one end of the positioned valve core, and the probe points to one end face of the valve core along the axis. During the detection process, it is driven by the cylinder at the lower end of the axial hole stop gauge 332 and moves along the linear guide rail to extend the probe into the axial hole of the valve core.
[0057] In this embodiment, the bottom illumination assembly 42 includes a linear sliding seat 421 which is linearly slidably connected to the frame 1, a rotary driver 422 is provided on the linear sliding seat 421, and a lighting support seat 423 is connected to the power end of the rotary driver 422, the linear sliding seat 421 is connected to a linear driving device 424, and the linear sliding seat 421 is driven by the linear driving device 424 so that the lighting support seat 423 is in the detection position and the waiting position for material collection, and the lighting support seat 423 in the detection position is driven by the rotary driver 422 so that the valve core placement position of the lighting support seat 423 is on the transport track.
[0058] Since the bottom illumination assembly 42 needs to receive the valve core transferred from the second axial hole detection assembly at the turntable during operation, and later transport the valve core to the qualified product turntable or the defective product recycling area, the process involves three groups of manipulators. In order to allow each group of manipulators to have room to move, a self-rotating and linearly movable structure is set at the lower end of the illumination support seat 423.
[0059] A linear guide rail is provided between the turntable and the unloading area, and a linear sliding seat 421 is slidably provided on the guide rail and driven by a linear driving device 424. An illuminated bearing seat 423 is installed on the linear sliding seat 421 through a rotating driver 422, so that the valve core can be transported between the turntable and the unloading area. When the bearing seat moves to one end of the turntable, the rotating driver 422 drives the illuminated bearing seat 423 to rotate a certain angle, so that the valve core placement groove on the illuminated bearing seat 423 is aligned with the manipulator on the turntable, so as to receive the valve core placed by the manipulator.
[0060] In this embodiment, the full inspection equipment also includes a material tray unit 5 having a material tray position for a valve core to be inspected and a material tray position for an inspected valve core. The valve core to be inspected placed on the material tray position for the valve core to be inspected is transported to the valve core correction assembly 21 by a loading robot, and the inspected valve core placed on the bottom lighting assembly 42 is transported to the material tray position for the inspected valve core by a unloading robot.
[0061] A guide rail bracket for moving a loading robot is set up between the loading tray of the valve core to be inspected and the valve core correction assembly 21. The robot is driven by a motor. A suction cup connected to the cylinder is installed at the end of the robot. The root of the robot is fixed to a linear cylinder module that moves up and down, which is used to realize the picking and placing of the valve core.
[0062] The unloading robot is divided into two transport paths: the qualified transport rail and the defective transport rail. The setting of the robot in the qualified transport rail is the same as that of the loading robot. Both of them suck up the horizontally placed valve core and place it horizontally back into the groove of the qualified material tray. The robot in the defective transport rail uses a clamp instead of a suction cup, and a 90° flipping mechanism is added to the robot. After the robot clamps the horizontally placed valve core, it flips it 90° so that the valve core is in a vertical state and then inserted into the hole groove of the defective material tray.
[0063] The valve core is mainly composed of a long cylinder, with a conical end at one end of the main body, a circular groove at the other end, and an axial hole with a smaller diameter at the center of the groove bottom. There are three large cylinders concentric with the main cylinder distributed on the arc surface of the valve core, and a radial hole is opened on the middle cylinder to communicate with the small axial hole. The two suction cups on the manipulator are adsorbed on the two large cylinders near the end, and the clamp manipulator is clamped on the conical end of the valve core.
[0064] In this embodiment, the material tray unit 5 includes a material tray rack 51 located beside the frame 1, and the material tray rack 51 is provided with adjacently distributed loading tray positions for valve cores to be inspected and material tray positions for inspected valve cores, and the material tray rack 51 is provided with an empty tray stacking position 52 located between the loading tray position for valve cores to be inspected and the material tray position for inspected valve cores, and when the loading tray on the loading tray position for valve cores to be inspected is empty, it is moved to the empty tray stacking position 52 by a first loading tray moving device 53, and the empty loading tray on the empty tray stacking position 52 is moved to the inspected valve core material tray position by a second loading tray moving device 54.
[0065] A stacking position for materials to be inspected is provided beside the material tray position for the valve core to be inspected. The first tray moving device 53 moves the material tray carrying the valve core to be inspected to the material tray position for the valve core to be inspected. A stacking position for materials that have been inspected is provided beside the material tray position for the inspected valve core. The second tray moving device 54 moves the material tray carrying the inspected valve core to the stacking position for the inspected material.
[0066] The stacking position is provided with a stacking bracket of the same size as the material tray. Pneumatic plugs are provided on the two opposite beams on the lower side of the bracket. The plugs are inserted into the grooves on the side of the material tray to lift the material tray at the bottom layer and thus all the material trays. The lower side of the material tray rack 51 is provided with a first tray moving device 53 and a second tray moving device 54 that can move between adjacent tray positions. The tray moving devices are operated by rails and motors.
[0067] When the palletizing bracket is storing trays, the tray moving device moves the tray to the lower end of the palletizing bracket, lifts up the trays in the palletizing bracket through the placed trays, and unlocks and fixes the trays. After the bottom tray is pushed to the same height as the pneumatic plug, the pneumatic plug pops out and fixes it again. When the palletizing bracket is releasing trays, the tray moving device first supports all the trays stacked together at the lower end, and then drops down after the pneumatic plug touches. If one tray is released at a time, it pops out and fixes after the pneumatic plug is aligned with the groove of the second tray, and the tray moving device moves horizontally to take away the tray at the bottom.
[0068] Among them, a tray moving device is provided with two lifting platforms distributed in adjacent tray positions. When the tray moving device is translated, the two lifting platforms can transfer the tray area with the trays they support at the same time, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the trays.
[0069] Full inspection process of solenoid valve core: S1, placing the valve core to be inspected on the valve core correction component 21, and the valve core correction component 21 makes the radial hole of the valve core in an upright state, and moves the valve core to the radial hole detection position, and the radial hole detection component 22 detects the radial hole; S2, the valve core after detection is placed at the valve core waiting position, the valve core is obtained and released to the appearance detection component 32 by the turntable mechanical handling component 31 of the composite detection unit 3, the appearance detection component 32 performs appearance detection on the valve core, and the turntable mechanical handling component 31 places the valve core at the axial hole detection component 33 and performs axial hole detection; S3, the bottom illumination component 42 of the surface foreign matter detection unit 4 is placed in the detection position, and the valve core detected by S2 is released on the bottom illumination component 42, the top detection component 41 performs appearance detection on the valve core, and the valve core after detection is classified into qualified and unqualified products and loaded on a tray.
[0070] Example 2
[0071] Based on the technical solution in Example 1, in order to improve the overall detection efficiency, the detection process is increased to be carried out simultaneously at two workstations.
[0072] Correspondingly, the manipulator used for the transfer of the valve core station in the process is equipped with two grabbing units at the same time, and the manipulator will grab two valve cores at the same time in one action. There are also two stations for simultaneous inspection during the inspection process. In the valve core radial hole correction and axial inspection process, due to the problem of operating space avoidance between the adjustment equipment and the inspection device, one of the bearing seats is set to be movable.
[0073] When the robot picks up two valve cores, the two valve cores are in an axially colinear state. It is very beneficial for the appearance detection equipment to uniformly test from the side of the valve core when placing them on the bearing seat, but it is not conducive to operations from the axial direction. Therefore, one of the bearing seats is set as a movable seat that can be radially translated, and it is staggered with the other bearing seat for adjustment and detection.
[0074] Before the bearing seat receives the valve core transported by the robot, the two bearing seats are axially aligned. After receiving the valve core, one of the bearing seats is moved along the guide rail by the cylinder to be offset from the other bearing seat by a certain position, and the axis of the valve core after translation is aligned with the valve core rotation driving robot 212 or the stop gauge for detecting the axial hole.
[0075] Of course, according to this idea, it is also possible to configure more than two workstations by using a movable bearing seat to make room for installing corresponding detection components.
[0076] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
