[0020] The implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] In this embodiment: Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided.

[0022] The optical detection device for detecting the coating thickness of watches in this embodiment comprises a device housing 1, a feeding belt conveyor 2 and a discharging belt conveyor 3. A control panel 11 is installed on the top of the device housing 1. An upper support tube 5 and a lower support tube 4 are installed on the inner sides of the upper and lower parts of the device housing 1 respectively.

A rotating ring 8 is also connected between the upper support tube 5 and the lower support tube 4 through a rotating shaft. An adjusting bin 7 is telescopically installed inside the device housing 1 on one side of the rotating ring 8. A laser assembly 55 is installed on the side of the upper support tube 5 close to the adjusting bin 7. A reflector 45 and a detection member 46 are installed on the side of the lower support tube 4 close to the adjusting bin 7. A plurality of transfer bins 6 are evenly distributed and installed on the outside of the rotating ring 8. The transfer bins 6 are placed between the feeding belt conveyor 2 and the unloading belt conveyor 3 and are used to transfer the test pieces fed from the feeding belt conveyor 2 and transfer them to the adjustment bin 7 for thickness detection operation. The control panel 11 includes a touch screen and a PLC of model S4-400, which realizes real-time control of various components through PLC programming to achieve automated detection operations, and displays the detection process and results through the touch screen in real time.

The photosensitive sensor set 462 is used to initialize and obtain the position of the laser light beam reflected by the reflective sheet 452. The initial standard is: the laser passes through the coating of the watch lens and is reflected by the reflective sheet 452, and then the position is detected by the photosensitive sensor set 462; when the light beam passing through the test piece and reflected by the reflective sheet 452 deviates from the initial standard, the coating thickness defect can be quickly judged according to the deviation distance.

[0024] See attached Figure 4 As shown, a second lifting motor 51 is installed inside the upper support tube 5, and the output shaft of the second lifting motor 51 is connected to a second guide rod 53, and the second guide rod 53 is externally threadedly connected to a second connecting block 54, which is connected to a second mounting frame 52 through the second connecting block 54, and the laser assembly 55 is fixed through the second mounting frame 52, and the second lifting motor 51 drives the second guide rod 53 to rotate, thereby pushing the second connecting block 54 connected to its external thread to rise and fall inside the upper support tube 5, and then the second mounting frame 52 drives the laser assembly 55 to complete the lifting operation, so as to meet the detection distance adjustment requirements of different specifications of the test pieces and the laser assembly 55; The laser assembly 55 includes two groups of first guide rails 551, on which the second guide rails 552 perpendicularly arranged to the first guide rails 551 are installed, and on which the laser generator 553 is installed, the first guide rails 551 and the second guide rails 552 are installed, and the position of the laser generator 553 is adjusted by using the first guide rails 551 and the second guide rails 552 to achieve irradiation of the laser beam on different positions of the test piece, and a liquid cooler 554 is also installed on the second mounting frame 52, and the liquid cooler 554 is used to cool the laser generator 553 to prevent the high-precision laser generator 553 from being overheated and damaged.

[0025] It is worth noting that, referring to Figure 5-6As shown, the transfer bin 6 includes a bin body 61, both sides of the bin body 61 are connected to third guide rods 62 through a rotating shaft, and a driving shaft 63 is installed on the bottom of the bin body 61 away from the rotating ring 8 through a bearing, and the driving shaft 63 is respectively connected to the two third guide rods 62 through a belt, and the third guide rod 62 is externally threadedly connected to a third connecting block 64, and a clamping telescopic machine 65 is horizontally installed on the third connecting block 64 through a bearing, and the telescopic parts of the two clamping telescopic machines 65 are arranged facing each other, and the telescopic parts of the clamping telescopic machines 65 are installed with a clip 66, under the action of the driving shaft 63, the two third guide rods 62 can rotate synchronously, and then push the third connecting block 64 connected to the external thread thereof to achieve lifting, thereby driving the height adjustment of the test piece clamped and fixed in the clip 66; Furthermore, in the attached Figure 5 In the embodiment, a third lifting motor 72 is installed at the bottom of the regulating bin 7, and the output shaft of the third lifting motor 72 and the shaft end of the driving shaft 63 are both sleeved with meshing gears, and a pushing telescopic machine 71 is installed inside one side of the device housing 1, and the telescopic part of the pushing telescopic machine 71 extends to the inside of the device housing 1, and is connected and fixed to the outside of the regulating bin 7. Under the action of the pushing telescopic machine 71, the regulating bin 7 can act on the outside of the bin body 61, and make the gear of the output shaft of the third lifting motor 72 mesh with the gear at the end of the driving shaft 63, and then use the third lifting motor 72 to drive the two third guide rods 62 to rotate, so as to achieve the function of fine-tuning the height of the test piece, so as to better detect the coating thickness on the surface of the test piece; It is worth noting that a deflection motor 75 is installed on one side of the adjustment bin 7, and a protrusion 73 is also provided on the inner wall of the adjustment bin 7. A driving belt tooth 74 arranged along the vertical direction of the adjustment bin 7 is installed on the protrusion 73, and the driving belt tooth 74 is driven by the deflection motor 75. The outer part of the clamping and telescopic machine 65 is sleeved with a transmission gear 651 meshing with the driving belt tooth 74. When the adjustment bin 7 is pushed to the outside of the bin body 61 by pushing the telescopic machine 71, the driving belt tooth 74 will also mesh with the transmission gear 651. The deflection motor 75 is used to drive the driving belt tooth 74 to rotate, and then the clamping and telescopic machine 65 in the transmission gear 651 is driven to rotate, so that the deflection angle of the test piece can be better adjusted according to the polarization performance of the coating.

[0026] In the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5In the figure, a rotating motor 81 is installed on the support plate 47, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 81 is sleeved with a rotating gear 82. The inner wall of the rotating ring 8 is provided with a transmission gear ring 83 meshing with the rotating gear 82. The rotating gear 82 of the output shaft of the rotating motor 81 is used to drive the rotating ring 8 with the transmission gear ring 83 on the inner wall to rotate, thereby pushing the external transfer bin 6 to transport the test pieces to the adjustment bin 7 for testing through the feeding belt conveyor 2 in turn.

[0027] The coating thickness detection device of the watch conveys the workpiece to be tested to the transfer bin 6 by the feeding belt conveyor 2, and transfers the workpiece to be tested to the adjustment bin 7 by the rotating ring 8. In the adjustment bin 7, the height and deflection angle of the workpiece to be tested are adjusted by the third lifting motor 72 and the deflection motor 75 respectively. The distance between the laser component 55 and the reflector 45 and the detection component 46 at the upper and lower parts of the workpiece to be tested are adjusted by the first lifting motor 41 and the second lifting motor 51. The laser is generated by the laser component 55 and reflected to the detection component 46 by the reflector 45. After the detection component 46 is initialized according to the polarization of the coating standard thickness of the workpiece to be tested, the workpiece to be tested is placed between the laser component 55 and the reflector 45. The coating thickness is obtained by the angle of deviation of the laser acting on the detection component 46. At the same time, the position of the laser component 55 can be adjusted to perform automatic thickness detection on different positions of the entire workpiece to be tested. The overall design ensures the accuracy and adaptability of the detection. Compared with traditional optical detection, it not only improves the detection efficiency and accuracy, but also reduces the detection cost.
