DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] See also Figure 1 A powder metallurgy parts defect detection device comprises: an operating table 1, the operating table 1 is composed of a hollow ring 10 and a support table 11 installed at the bottom of the ring 10 and connected to the ring 10, the top of the support table 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating cylinder 2 concentric with the ring, an internal supporting fixing mechanism 3 is installed on the rotating cylinder 2, and an external clamping mechanism 4 is installed on the inner ring surface of the ring 10.

[0040] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2 is installed with L-shaped seats 5 evenly arranged along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 2 through supporting columns, and the vertical section and horizontal section of one of the L-shaped seats 5 are installed with a visual detection group 6 (such as a CCD visual camera and a lighting source used in conjunction with it), and the top of the support platform 11 is slidably connected with an inverted L-shaped frame 7, and the vertical section and horizontal section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 are installed with a visual detection group 8 (such as a CCD visual camera and a lighting source used in conjunction with it).

[0041] The CCD vision camera is used to capture images, and the lighting source is used to provide uniform lighting, reduce shadows and reflections, and improve the image recognition accuracy of the CCD vision camera; the image recognized by the CCD vision camera is sent to the image processing software, and the image processing software is used to process and analyze the image data.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The inner support fixing mechanism 3 includes a plurality of support brackets 31 connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2 by a guide rod 30, which slide along its radial direction and are evenly arranged along its circumference. The vertical cross-section of the support bracket 31 is L-shaped. The support bracket 31 and the L-shaped seat 5 are arranged alternately. The top of the horizontal section of the support bracket 31 is equipped with an evenly arranged support anti-friction group 32; the support platform 11 is equipped with an inner clamping drive group 33 and a rotation drive group for driving the plurality of support brackets 31 to clamp the flange 9 internally. The inner clamping drive group 33 also drives the horizontal section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 to move above the flange 9 through the linkage group 34. A rotation guide group 35 is installed between the support bracket 31 and the inverted L-shaped frame 7.

[0043] In the initial state, the inverted L-shaped frame 7 is located on a side close to the inner surface of the circular ring 10 to prevent the horizontal section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 from obstructing the placement of the flange 9, thereby facilitating the placement of the flange 9 on the horizontal section of the support frame 31.

[0044] When inspecting the outer annular surface and the top of the flange 9, the visual inspection group 1 6 does not work, and the guide rod 30 is driven by the internal clamping drive group 33 to drive the support bracket 31 to move away from the rotating cylinder 2 until the vertical sections of multiple support brackets 31 are tightly against the inner annular surface of the flange 9. At this time, the internal clamping drive group 33 drives the inverted L-shaped frame 7 to move toward the flange 9 through the linkage group 34, so that the visual inspection group 2 8 installed on the lower end surface of the horizontal section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 is located above the flange 9. At the same time, the rotating guide group 35 between the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and the support bracket 31 cooperates with the horizontal section and the vertical section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 for plug-in support, thereby improving the stability of the inverted L-shaped frame 7, so that the visual inspection group 2 8 can stably inspect the flange 9.

[0045] Then, the rotating cylinder 2 is driven by the rotating drive group to drive the guide rod 30 and the supporting bracket 31 to rotate, and the supporting bracket 31 drives the flange 9 to rotate. At this time, the two visual inspection groups 2 8 installed on the inverted L-shaped frame 7 respectively perform circumferential defect inspection on the outer ring surface and the top of the flange 9. During the rotation process, the inverted L-shaped frame 7 cooperates with the supporting bracket 31 through the rotating guide group 35, which not only improves the stability of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and avoids the shaking of the visual inspection group 2 8 to affect the inspection of the flange 9, but also enables the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and the supporting bracket 31 to support each other for rotational guidance, maintains the distance between the two visual inspection groups 2 8 and the corresponding outer ring surface or top of the flange 9, and improves the inspection accuracy.

[0046] See also Figure 6 The inner clamping drive group 33 includes a mounting groove 330 opened at the bottom of the support platform 11, and a cylinder is installed in the mounting groove 330 through a bracket. A push rod 331 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the cylinder. After the push rod 331 is slid into the rotating cylinder 2, a conical column 332 with a diameter gradually decreasing upward is rotated and installed. The conical column 332 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 2 through a telescopic rod 333. After the guide rod 30 penetrates into the rotating cylinder 2, a wedge block 334 is installed. The wedge block 334 is connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 2 through a return spring 335. A ball is rollingly installed on the inclined surface of the wedge block 334, and the ball rolls against the inclined surface of the conical column 332. A support plate 336 that slides through the rotating cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the vertical section of the support bracket 31 near the side wall of the rotating cylinder 2.

[0047] When the flange 9 is placed on the support bracket 31, the cylinder pushes the push rod 331 and the tapered column 332 to move upward. The tapered column 332 pushes the ball on the wedge block 334 through the inclined surface and squeezes the guide rod 30 to drive the support bracket 31 to move toward the inner ring surface of the ring 10. At this time, the return spring 335 contracts until the vertical section of the support bracket 31 is tightly pressed against the inner ring surface of the flange 9, thereby achieving internal support and fixation of the flange 9, so that the top and outer ring surface of the flange 9 can be detected when the rotating cylinder 2 drives the flange 9 to rotate.

[0048] The rotating drive group includes a connecting tube fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating cylinder 2, sleeved on the top rod 331 and rotatably inserted into the installation groove 330, and a driving shaft is rotatably connected in the installation groove 330. Gears are fixedly sleeved on the driving shaft and the connecting tube, and the two gears are meshed for transmission. The driving shaft is connected to an external motor, and the driving shaft is driven to rotate by the external motor. The driving shaft drives the connecting tube and the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate through the meshing transmission between the two gears. The rotating cylinder 2 drives the support frame 31 and the flange 9 to rotate through the guide rod 30 and the support plate 336, so that the two visual inspection groups 8 installed on the inverted L-shaped frame 7 can perform circumferential inspection on the outer annular surface and the top of the flange 9 respectively.

[0049] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 The linkage group 34 includes a guide groove 340 opened at the top of the support platform 11 and slidably connected to the bottom of the vertical section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7, a through groove connected to the guide groove 340 and the mounting groove 330, the vertical section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 is installed with a connecting plate 341 that passes through the through groove and then enters the mounting groove 330 and is installed with a push-pushing driving block 342, a return spring 346 is installed between the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and the through groove, the lower end of the push-pushing driving block 342 is an inclined surface away from the top rod 331, and the side wall of the top rod 331 is installed with an L support rod 343, the top of the vertical section of the L support rod 343 is rollingly connected with a ball that contacts the inclined surface of the push-pushing driving block 342, a sliding groove 344 is opened at the top of the inverted L-shaped frame 7, and a sliding plug plate 345 slidably connected to the sliding groove 344 is installed on the inner ring surface of the ring 10.

[0050] When the push rod 331 moves upward, it drives the L-shaped rod 343 to move upward. When the ball on the L-shaped rod 343 contacts the inclined surface of the push-pushing block 342, the L-shaped rod 343 squeezes the push-pushing block 342 through the ball to make the connecting plate 341 move toward the push rod 331. The connecting plate 341 drives the inverted L-shaped frame 7 to move toward the flange 9. At the same time, the top of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 slides along the sliding plate 345, so that the inverted L-shaped frame 7 maintains the stability of horizontal movement.

[0051] By cooperating with the linkage group 34 and the internal clamping drive group 33, the integrated drive of the internal support clamping of the flange 9 and the movement of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 is realized, which not only facilitates the placement of the flange 9, but also enables the inverted L-shaped frame 7 to synchronously drive the visual inspection group 2 8 to move toward the flange 9 along with the internal clamping of the flange 9, thereby improving the convenience of flange 9 detection.

[0052] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer clamping mechanism 4 includes a plurality of outer clamping plates 41 connected to the inner ring surface of the circular ring 10 by an insert rod 40, which slide along its radial direction and are evenly arranged along its circumference. An outer clamping driving group 42 is installed in the circular ring 10 to drive the outer clamping plates 41 to clamp the outer ring surface of the flange 9. A rotating supporting guide group 43 is installed between the outer clamping plates 41 and the plurality of L-shaped seats 5 to rotationally guide the L-shaped seats 5.

[0053] Before inspecting the inner annular surface and the lower end surface of the flange 9, the inner clamping drive group 33 drives the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and the support frame 31 to reset. After resetting, the horizontal section of the support frame 31 still supports the flange 9. At this time, the end of the horizontal section of the support frame 31 is located directly below the flange 9, preventing the support frame 31 from affecting the clamping of the flange 9 by the outer clamping plate 41.

[0054] Then, the external clamping drive group 42 drives multiple insertion rods 40 to push the external clamping plate 41 to move toward the flange 9 until the multiple external clamping plates 41 are tightly clamped against the outer annular surface of the flange 9. At this time, the L-shaped seat 5 is plugged into and matched with the external clamping plate 41 through the rotating support guide group 43, so as to support and guide the L-shaped seat 5 when it rotates, so that the horizontal section end of the L-shaped seat 5 is supported, thereby improving the stability of the L-shaped seat 5 when it rotates, and further improving the stability and accuracy of the two visual inspection groups 1-6 when inspecting the inner annular surface and the lower end surface of the flange 9.

[0055] Then the rotary drive group drives the rotary drum 2 to rotate, and the visual inspection group 6 rotates along the circumference of the flange 9, so as to inspect the inner annular surface and the lower end surface of the flange 9.

[0056] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 The support and friction reduction group 32 includes evenly arranged spring grooves opened at the top of the horizontal section of the support bracket 31, and a mounting seat 320 is installed in the spring groove through a supporting spring 321. The top of the mounting seat 320 is rotatably connected with a friction reduction member 322 (such as a roller or a ball). The mounting seat 320 cooperates with the supporting spring 321, so that the support bracket 31 can support the bottom of the flange 9 when the flange 9 is clamped internally, and can reduce the friction between the flange 9 and the support bracket 31 when the rotating cylinder 2 drives the L-shaped seat 5 to rotate the visual inspection group 6 to inspect the flange 9. At the same time, when a convex defect appears on the lower end surface of the flange 9, the friction reduction member 322 and the mounting seat 320 squeeze the supporting spring 321 and move downward under the extrusion action of the convex defect on the surface of the flange 9, thereby preventing the defect on the surface of the flange 9 from hindering the rotation and movement of the support bracket 31.

[0057] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rotating guide group 35 includes a plug-in support ring 350 installed together at the ends of the horizontal sections of multiple L-shaped seats 5. An arc-shaped slot 351 is opened on the end face of the outer clamping plate 41 near the plug-in support ring 350, and the lower end face of the plug-in support ring 350 is rollingly connected with evenly arranged balls (not shown in the figure).

[0058] When the outer clamping plate 41 moves toward the flange 9 to clamp the flange 9 externally, the plug-in support ring 350 is inserted into the arc-shaped slot 351, thereby supporting the horizontal section end of the L-shaped seat 5, and then the rotating drive group drives the rotating cylinder 2, the L-shaped seat 5 and the plug-in support ring 350 to rotate, and the two visual inspection groups 6 respectively inspect the inner annular surface and the lower end surface of the flange 9, and the plug-in support ring 350 rotates along the arc-shaped slots 351 on the multiple outer clamping plates 41, thereby improving the rotation stability of the visual inspection group 6, and then improving the accuracy of the inspection.

[0059] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer clamping drive group 42 includes a rotating ring 420 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the ring 10, and the inner ring surface of the rotating ring 420 is equipped with arc-shaped push blocks 421 that are evenly arranged along its circumference and correspond one to one with the insertion rod 40. After the insertion rod 40 penetrates the inner cavity of the ring 10, a ball is installed, and a return spring 422 is installed between the insertion rod 40 and the inner wall of the ring 10. The inner wall of the ring 10 is equipped with an outer clamping drive component that drives the rotating ring 420 to rotate to push the insertion rod 40 to move.

[0060] The outer clamp driving component can be a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular ring 10, and an inner gear ring is installed near the lower end of the inner ring surface of the rotating ring 420, and a gear that meshes with the inner gear ring is fixed on the rotating shaft. When the external motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the rotating ring 420 to rotate through the meshing of the gear connected thereto with the inner gear ring. When the rotating ring 420 drives the push arc block 421 to rotate, the inclined surface of the push arc block 421 squeezes the ball on the insertion rod 40, thereby causing the reset spring 422 to contract, and the insertion rod 40 drives the outer clamp plate 41 to move toward the outer ring surface of the flange 9 until the outer clamp plate 41 clamps the flange 9 and fixes it.

[0061] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The rotating support guide group 43 includes guide grooves 430 opened at the ends of the vertical and horizontal sections of the support frame 31, and the ends of the horizontal and vertical sections of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 are both equipped with arc-shaped clamping plates 431 that are in sliding contact with the corresponding guide grooves 430, and the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate 431 is rollingly connected with evenly arranged balls.

[0062] When the inverted L-shaped frame 7 moves toward the flange 9 driven by the linkage group 34, the support frame 31 moves away from the rotating cylinder 2. When the vertical section of the support frame 31 is pressed against the inner annular surface of the flange 9, the upper and lower arc-shaped clamping plates 431 connected to the inverted L-shaped frame 7 are respectively inserted into the corresponding guide grooves 430 opened at the ends of the vertical section and the horizontal section of the support frame 31. The guide grooves 430 cooperate with the arc-shaped clamping plates 431 so that when the two visual inspection groups 2 8 respectively inspect the top and the outer annular surface of the flange 9, the horizontal section and the vertical section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 are always supported, thereby improving the stability of the visual inspection group 2 8.

[0064] When the support bracket 31 moves in the direction away from the rotating cylinder 2 to clamp the inner annular surface of the flange 9, the support insert plate 101 is inserted into the guide groove 430 opened at the end of the horizontal section of the corresponding support bracket 31, thereby supporting the end of the horizontal section of the support bracket 31 and limiting the support bracket 31 when the support bracket 31 rotates, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the support bracket 31, thereby further improving the stability of the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and the accuracy of the detection of the visual detection group 2 8.

[0065] See also Figure 3 The vertical section of the L-shaped seat 5 is installed with ear support plates 50 on both sides arranged along its width direction, and the vertical section of the support frame 31 is provided with support slots 51 corresponding to adjacent ear support plates 50. When the support frame 31 moves toward the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2 under the elastic force of the reset spring 335, the ear support plate 50 is inserted into the support slot 51, thereby supporting the vertical section of the L-shaped seat 5. Under the plug-in cooperation of the ear support plate 50 and the support slot 51, and the plug-in support ring 350 and the arc-shaped slot 351, the horizontal section end and the vertical section end of the L-shaped seat 5 are supported, thereby improving the stability of the L-shaped seat 5 during rotation, and further improving the accuracy of the inner ring surface and the lower end surface detection of the flange 9 by the two visual inspection groups 6.

At the same time, the rotating guide group 35 between the inverted L-shaped frame 7 and the support bracket 31 cooperates to plug and support the horizontal section and the vertical section of the inverted L-shaped frame 7.
