It is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to this application.

[0050] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0051] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, this application provides a size detection device for a socket, which includes a transport track 1, a plurality of transport sliders 2, a plurality of clamping mechanisms 3, and a detection mechanism 4. The plurality of transport sliders 2 are all installed on the transport track 1 and can all move along a first direction. The plurality of clamping mechanisms 3 are installed on the plurality of transport sliders 2, are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of transport sliders 2, and are further configured to clamp a concealed socket 5. The detection mechanism 4 includes a detection frame 41, a simulation bracket 42, an adjustment assembly 43, a flipping assembly 44, an adsorption assembly 45, a detection assembly 46, and a detection driver 47. The simulation bracket 42 is installed on the detection frame 41, the adjustment assembly 43 is installed on the detection frame 41, the flipping assembly 44 is installed on the adjustment assembly 43, and moves along the first direction and the second direction respectively under the drive of the adjustment assembly 43. The adsorption assembly 45 is installed on the flipping assembly 44 and rotates around a third direction under the drive of the flipping assembly 44, and is further configured to adsorb a socket cover plate 52. The detection assembly 46 is installed on the adsorption assembly 45 and rotates around the third direction under the drive of the flipping assembly 44, and is further configured to detect the distance between the simulation bracket 42 and the detection assembly 46. The detection driver 47 is installed on the detection mechanism 4 and is configured to push the concealed socket 5 out of the clamping mechanism 3 when the distance between the simulation bracket 42 and the detection assembly 46 is greater than or less than a predetermined range.

[0052] It should be noted here that the above and below first direction refers to the two-way direction of the shortest connection line between the two ends of the transport track 1, specifically as Figure 1 shown by the X axis in. The above and below second direction refers to the two-way direction of the shortest connection line between the transport track 1 and the clamping mechanism 3, specifically as Figure 1 shown by the Y axis in. The above and below third direction refers to the direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction, specifically as Figure 1 shown by the Z axis in.

[0053] It should also be noted here that the concealed socket 5 includes a socket base 51, a socket cover plate 52, and a socket panel 53. The socket cover plate 52 is hinged to the socket base 51, and the socket panel 53 is connected to the socket cover plate 52 and rotates with the socket cover plate 52. Among them, the size of the socket panel 53 detected by the detection assembly 46 refers to the distance between the end of the socket panel 53 close to the socket cover plate 52 and the socket base 51, specifically asFigure 2 H shown in

[0054] Specifically, during the detection process, affected by the socket cover plate 52, the rotation angles of the socket panel 53 relative to the socket base 51 are different, so the values of H are also different. The detection component 46 can obtain the exposed dimension H of the socket panel 53. When the exposed dimension H of the socket panel 53 is less than the predetermined range, that is, the size of the hidden socket 5 does not meet the standard, that is, the exposed size of the hidden socket 5 is insufficient. During use, it is easy to occur that the plug cannot be inserted into the socket panel 53.

[0055] The size detection device of the socket provided by this application can sequentially transport multiple hidden sockets 5 to the detection mechanism 4 for detection under the action of the transport track 1, multiple transport sliders 2 and multiple clamping mechanisms 3, with a high degree of automation. Under the action of the adsorption component 45, it can be used to adsorb the socket cover plate 52. Under the action of the flipping component 44, it can flip the socket cover plate 52 to expose the socket panel 53 from the socket base 51, facilitating the detection by the detection component 46, with a high degree of automation. Through the simulation bracket 42 and the detection component 46, it can detect whether the exposed size of the socket panel 53 meets the standard. Under the action of the detection driver 47, it can push out the hidden socket 5 that fails the detection from the clamping mechanism 3. In summary, under the cooperation of the transport track 1, multiple transport sliders 2, multiple clamping mechanisms 3 and the detection mechanism 4, it can automatically detect the internal size of the hidden socket 5, with a high degree of automation and greatly improved detection efficiency.

[0056] Optionally, the detection driver 47 is set as a multi-stage cylinder or a multi-stage electric cylinder.

[0057] In an embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the flipping component 44 includes a flipping driver 441, an intermediate connector 442 and a flipping member 443. The flipping driver 441 is installed on the adjusting component 43. The intermediate connector 442 is installed at the output end of the flipping driver 441 and rotates around the third direction under the drive of the flipping driver 441. The flipping member 443 is installed on the intermediate connector 442 and rotates around the third direction following the intermediate connector 442.

[0058] With such a setting, after the adsorption component 45 adsorbs the socket cover plate 52, the socket cover plate 52 can be driven to rotate around the third direction through the flipping driver 441, the intermediate connecting member 442 and the flipping member 443, so that the socket cover plate 52 can be turned out from the socket base 51, which is convenient for the detection component 46 to detect, and the degree of automation is high, greatly improving the convenience of use. Through the intermediate connecting member 442, the flipping member 443 can be deviated from the central axis of the flipping driver 441, which is convenient for the flipping member 443 to drive the socket cover plate 52 to rotate around the third direction.

[0059] Optionally, the flipping driver 441 is set as a servo motor.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the intermediate connecting member 442 includes an intermediate connecting plate 4421 and a plurality of intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422. The intermediate connecting plate 4421 is installed at the output end of the flipping driver 441 and rotates around the third direction under the drive of the flipping driver 441. The plurality of intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422 are all opened on the intermediate connecting plate 4421. The flipping member 443 includes a flipping seat 4431, a flipping plate 4432, a plurality of flipping screws 4433 and a plurality of flipping nuts 4434. The flipping seat 4431 is arranged on the side of the intermediate connecting plate 4421 facing away from the flipping driver 441. The flipping plate 4432 is installed on the flipping seat 4431. The plurality of flipping screws 4433 are all connected to the flipping seat 4431, pass through the plurality of intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422, and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422. The plurality of flipping nuts 4434 are all screwed on the plurality of flipping screws 4433 and are configured to lock the flipping seat 4431 to the intermediate connecting plate 4421 and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of flipping screws 4433.

[0061] It should be noted here that in this embodiment, the number of the intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422 is set to two as an example for illustration. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422 can also be set to three, four, five... other numbers, which is not uniquely limited here. Since the plurality of flipping screws 4433 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422, the number of the flipping screws 4433 is always equal to the number of the intermediate waist-shaped holes 4422. And since the plurality of flipping nuts 4434 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of flipping screws 4433, the number of the flipping nuts 4434 is always equal to the number of the flipping screws 4433.

[0062] With such a setting, before detecting the size of the concealed socket 5, through the middle waist-shaped hole 4422, the flipping screw 4433 can slide along the middle waist-shaped hole 4422. Driven by the flipping seat 4431 and the flipping plate 4432, the position of the adsorption component 45 in the first direction can be changed, so that the adsorption component 45 can be located at the middle position of the socket cover plate 52 in the first direction. When the adsorption component 45 drives the socket cover plate 52 to flip, the adsorption component 45 can stably drive the socket cover plate 52 to flip, ensuring the normal progress of the detection. Moreover, by adjusting the position of the adsorption component 45 in the first direction, the device can be applied to concealed sockets 5 of different sizes, which helps to improve the applicable range of the device.

[0063] Through multiple flipping screws 4433 and multiple middle waist-shaped holes 4422, compared with using one flipping screw 4433 and one middle waist-shaped hole 4422, the rotation of the flipping seat 4431 relative to the middle connecting plate 4421 can be avoided, which helps to improve the structural stability between the flipping seat 4431 and the middle connecting plate 4421, and further helps to improve the structural stability between the adsorption component 45 and the middle connecting plate 4421.

[0064] The staff can lock multiple flipping screws 4433 to the middle connecting plate 4421 by tightening multiple flipping nuts 4434, which can prevent the multiple flipping screws 4433 from sliding relative to the middle connecting plate 4421 and affecting the detection effect of the device.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the flipping member 443 includes a flipping plate 4432 and a first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435, and the first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435 is formed in the flipping plate 4432. The adsorption component 45 includes a vacuum chuck 451, a first adsorption nut 452, and a second adsorption nut 453. The vacuum chuck 451 passes through the first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435 and can slide along the first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435. The first adsorption nut 452 is screwed to the vacuum chuck 451 and is located on the side of the flipping plate 4432 facing the concealed socket 5, and the second adsorption nut 453 is screwed to the vacuum chuck 451 and is located on the side of the flipping plate 4432 facing away from the concealed socket 5.

[0066] It should be noted here that the direction of the shortest connection line between the two ends of the first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435 is consistent with the third direction.

[0067] With such a setting, before detecting the size of the hidden socket 5, through the first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435, the vacuum suction cup 451 can slide along the first flipping waist-shaped hole 4435, and the position of the vacuum suction cup 451 in the third direction can be adjusted, so that the adsorption assembly 45 can be located at the middle position of the socket cover plate 52 in the third direction. Moreover, with the cooperation of the middle waist-shaped hole 4422, the positions of the vacuum suction cup 451 in the first direction and the third direction can be adjusted simultaneously, so that the adsorption assembly 45 can be located at the geometric center position of the socket cover plate 52. When the adsorption assembly 45 drives the socket cover plate 52 to flip, it enables the adsorption assembly 45 to drive the socket cover plate 52 to flip more stably, ensuring the normal progress of the detection. Also, by adjusting the positions of the adsorption assembly 45 in the first direction and the third direction, the device can be applicable to hidden sockets 5 of different sizes, greatly improving the applicable range of the device.

[0068] By adjusting the positions of the first adsorption nut 452 and the second adsorption nut 453 on the vacuum suction cup 451, the distance between the vacuum suction cup 451 and the socket cover plate 52 can be adjusted, ensuring that the vacuum suction cup 451 can normally contact the socket cover plate 52. And by adjusting the distance between the vacuum suction cup 451 and the socket cover plate 52, the vacuum suction cup 451 can be used to adsorb hidden sockets 5 of different sizes, which helps to further improve the applicable range of the device. In addition, through the first adsorption nut 452 and the second adsorption nut 453, the vacuum suction cup 451 can be locked to the flipping plate 4432, which helps to improve the structural stability between the vacuum suction cup 451 and the flipping plate 4432.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the flipping member 443 further includes a second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436, and the second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436 is opened on the flipping plate 4432. The detection assembly 46 includes a detection head 461, a first detection nut 462, and a second detection nut 463. The detection head 461 passes through the second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436 and can slide along the second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436. The first detection nut 462 is screwed onto the detection head 461 and is located on the side of the flipping plate 4432 facing the hidden socket 5, and the second detection nut 463 is screwed onto the detection head 461 and is located on the side of the flipping plate 4432 facing away from the hidden socket 5.

[0070] It should be noted here that the direction of the shortest connection line between the two ends of the second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436 is perpendicular to the third direction.

[0071] With such a setting, before detecting the size of the concealed socket 5, through the second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436, the detection head 461 can slide along the second flipping waist-shaped hole 4436, and the position of the detection head 461 on the flipping plate 4432 can be adjusted, so that the light emitted by the detection head 461 can be in the same horizontal plane as the socket panel 53, thereby enabling the device to be applicable to different concealed sockets 5 and helping to further improve the applicable range of the device.

[0072] By adjusting the positions of the first detection nut 462 and the second detection nut 463 on the detection head 461, the distance between the detection head 461 and the socket cover plate 52 can be adjusted to ensure that the light emission position of the detection head 461 is flush with the socket cover plate 52, which helps to improve the detection accuracy. Moreover, by adjusting the distance between the detection head 461 and the socket base 51, the detection head 461 can be used to detect concealed sockets 5 of different sizes, which helps to further improve the applicable range of the device. In addition, through the first detection nut 462 and the second detection nut 463, the detection head 461 can be locked to the flipping plate 4432, which helps to improve the structural stability between the detection head 461 and the flipping plate 4432, making it not easy to shake and helping to further improve the detection accuracy.

[0073] Optionally, the detection head 461 is set as a photoelectric sensor.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the adjustment assembly 43 includes a first adjustment driver 431, a first adjustment bracket 432, a second adjustment driver 433 and a second adjustment bracket 434. The first adjustment driver 431 is installed on the detection frame 41, the first adjustment bracket 432 is installed on the output end of the first adjustment driver 431 and moves along the first direction under the drive of the first adjustment driver 431. The second adjustment driver 433 is installed on the first adjustment bracket 432 and moves along with the first adjustment bracket 432. The second adjustment bracket 434 is installed on the output end of the second adjustment driver 433 and moves in the second direction under the drive of the second adjustment driver 433.

[0075] With such a setting, under the action of the first adjustment driver 431, the first adjustment bracket 432 can be driven to move in the first direction. Driven by the second adjustment driver 433 and the second adjustment bracket 434, the flipping driver 441 can be moved in the first direction. Under the action of the second adjustment driver 433, the second adjustment bracket 434 can be driven to move in the second direction, so that the flipping driver 441 moves in the second direction. With the joint cooperation of the first adjustment driver 431 and the second adjustment driver 433, the position of the flipping driver 441 in the first direction and the second direction can be adjusted, so that the rotation axis of the flipping driver 441 is aligned with the rotation axis of the socket cover plate 52. When flipping the socket cover plate 52, the situation that the socket cover plate 52 gets stuck can be avoided. Moreover, by adjusting the position of the flipping driver 441 in the first direction and the second direction, the flipping driver 441 can drive the socket cover plates 52 of the concealed sockets 5 with different sizes to rotate, which helps to improve the applicable range of the device.

[0076] Optionally, both the first adjustment driver 431 and the second adjustment driver 433 are set as air cylinders.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the simulation bracket 42 includes multiple simulation screws 421, a simulation bottom plate 422, multiple first simulation nuts 423 and multiple second simulation nuts 424. The multiple simulation screws 421 are all connected to the detection frame 41. The simulation bottom plate 422 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the multiple simulation screws 421. The multiple first simulation nuts 423 are screwed onto the multiple simulation screws 421 and are located on the side of the simulation bottom plate 422 facing the detection frame 41, and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple simulation screws 421. The multiple second simulation nuts 424 are screwed onto the multiple simulation screws 421 and are located on the side of the simulation bottom plate 422 facing away from the detection frame 41, and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple simulation screws 421.

[0078] It should be noted here that in this embodiment, the number of the simulation screws 421 is set to two as an example for illustration. Of course, in other embodiments, according to actual application requirements, the number of the simulation screws 421 can also be set to three, four, five... other numbers, which is not uniquely limited here. Since the multiple first simulation nuts 423 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple simulation screws 421, the number of the first simulation nuts 423 is always equal to the number of the simulation screws 421. Since the multiple second simulation nuts 424 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple simulation screws 421, the number of the second simulation nuts 424 is always equal to the number of the simulation screws 421.

[0079] With such a setting, before detecting the size of the concealed socket 5, the position of the simulation base plate 422 in the second direction can be adjusted through the first simulation nut 423 and the second simulation nut 424, so that the simulation base plate 422 and the end of the socket base 51 away from the transport slider 2 are flush. After the socket cover plate 52 is flipped, under the action of the simulation base plate 422, it can be used to simulate the socket base 51, facilitating the detection head 461 to detect the exposed size of the socket panel 53, improving the convenience of detection. Moreover, by adjusting the position of the simulation base plate 422 in the second direction, it can be used to simulate socket bases 51 of different sizes, helping to further improve the applicable range of the device. In addition, through the first simulation nut 423 and the second simulation nut 424, the simulation base plate 422 can be locked to the simulation screw rod 421, helping to improve the structural stability between the simulation base plate 422 and the simulation screw rod 421.

[0080] With multiple simulation screw rods 421, compared with using a single simulation screw rod 421, it can prevent the simulation base plate 422 from rotating relative to the simulation screw rod 421, so that the simulation base plate 422 can only move in the second direction, enabling the simulation base plate 422 to stably simulate the socket base 51, which helps to improve the detection accuracy of the device.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping base plate 31, two clamping vertical plates 32 and two clamping members 33. The clamping base plate 31 is installed on the transport slider 2. The two clamping vertical plates 32 are respectively connected to both ends of the clamping base plate 31 along the first direction. The two clamping members 33 are installed on the two clamping vertical plates 32 and are configured to clamp the concealed socket 5, and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two clamping vertical plates 32.

[0082] With such a setting, under the action of the two clamping members 33, the concealed socket 5 can be stably clamped on the surface of the clamping base plate 31, which helps to improve the structural stability between the concealed socket 5 and the clamping base plate 31, facilitating the flipping assembly 44 and the adsorption assembly 45 to drive the socket cover plate 52 to flip.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 together, the clamping member 33 includes at least one guiding rod 331, a clamping block 332 and at least one elastic structure 333. At least one guiding rod 331 passes through the clamping vertical plate 32 and can move along the first direction. The clamping block 332 is connected to the guiding rod 331 and is located between the two clamping vertical plates 32. At least one elastic structure 333 is sleeved on at least one guiding rod 331 and abuts between the clamping vertical plate 32 and the clamping block 332, and is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with at least one guiding rod 331.

[0084] It should be noted here that in this embodiment, the number of guide rods 331 is set to three as an example for illustration. Of course, in other embodiments, according to actual application requirements, the number of guide rods 331 can also be set to one, two, four... other numbers, which is not uniquely limited here. Since at least one elastic structure 333 and at least one guide rod 331 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, the number of elastic structures 333 and the number of guide rods 331 are always equal.

[0085] With such a setting, under the action of the elastic structure 333, the two clamping blocks 332 can move towards each other. When the hidden socket 5 is placed between the two clamping blocks 332, the hidden socket 5 can be stably clamped between the two clamping blocks 332. Under the action of the guide rod 331, the clamping block 332 can only move along the first direction, so that the two clamping blocks 332 can stably clamp the hidden socket 5.

[0086] Optionally, the elastic structure 333 is set as a spring or a spring piece.

[0087] Optionally, a guiding surface (not shown in the figure) is provided at one end of the clamping block 332 away from the clamping bottom plate 31.

[0088] With such a setting, when the hidden socket 5 is placed between the two clamping blocks 332, through the guiding surface, the hidden socket 5 can be quickly clamped between the two clamping blocks 332, which helps to improve the placement efficiency.

[0089] The working principle of the socket size detection device provided by this application is as follows: Before detecting the size of the hidden socket 5, the standard hidden socket 5 needs to be placed between the two clamping blocks 332 first.

[0090] Adjust the simulation bottom plate 422 according to the standard socket base 51. When the position of the simulation bottom plate 422 in the second direction is higher than the socket bottom plate, the staff rotates the first simulation nut 423 and the second simulation nut 424, so that both the first simulation nut 423 and the second simulation nut 424 move towards the detection frame 41 along the second direction. At this time, the simulation bottom plate 422 also moves towards the detection frame 41 along the second direction until the end of the simulation bottom plate 422 and the socket bottom plate away from the transport clamping block 332 are flush. Conversely, the staff rotates the first simulation nut 423 and the second simulation nut 424 in the reverse direction, so that the simulation bottom plate 422 moves away from the detection frame 41 along the second direction until the end of the simulation bottom plate 422 and the socket bottom plate away from the transport clamping block 332 are flush.

[0091] Adjust the flipping driver 441 according to the standard socket cover plate 52. The staff adjusts the position of the flipping driver 441 in the first direction and the second direction through the first adjusting driver 431 and the second adjusting driver 433, so that the rotation axis of the output end of the flipping driver 441 is consistent with the rotation axis of the socket cover plate 52.

[0092] Adjust the vacuum chuck 451 according to the standard socket cover plate 52. The staff loosens the flipping nut 4434 to adjust the position of the vacuum chuck 451 in the first direction until the vacuum chuck 451 is roughly aligned with the middle position of the socket cover plate 52 in the first direction. The staff loosens the second adsorption nut 453 to adjust the position of the vacuum chuck 451 in the third direction until the vacuum chuck 451 is roughly aligned with the middle position of the socket cover plate 52 in the third direction. The staff rotates the first adsorption nut 452 and the second adsorption nut 453 to adjust the position of the vacuum chuck 451 in the second direction until the vacuum chuck 451 contacts the socket cover plate 52.

[0093] Adjust the detection head 461 according to the standard socket panel 53. Before adjusting the detection head 461, it is necessary to first start the vacuum chuck 451 to adsorb the socket cover plate 52. Under the action of the flipping driver 441, the socket cover plate 52 is driven to flip until the socket cover plate 52 cannot rotate. After the socket cover plate 52 finishes flipping, the staff loosens the second detection nut 463 to adjust the position of the detection head 461 on the flipping plate 4432 until the light-emitting position of the detection head 461 is flush with the socket panel 53.

[0094] After the adjustment is completed, the detection can be started. During the detection process, the staff clamps the concealed socket 5 between the two clamping blocks 332. Under the action of a plurality of transport sliders 2, the concealed socket 5 is sequentially transported to the detection mechanism 4. After the concealed socket 5 is transported to the detection mechanism 4, the vacuum chuck 451 adsorbs the socket cover plate 52, the flipping driver 441 drives the socket cover plate 52 to flip, the detection head 461 emits light to the simulation bottom plate 422, and the exposed size data of the corresponding socket panel 53 is obtained. When the size data is qualified, the detection driver 47 does not need to act. When the size data is unqualified, the detection driver 47 pushes the concealed socket 5 out from between the two clamping blocks 332.

[0095] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, the present application also provides a detection method for a size detection device of a socket, including the following steps:

[0096] Step S1: Clamp the concealed socket 5 on the clamping mechanism 3.

[0097] Step S2: Transport the concealed socket 5 to the detection mechanism 4 through the transport slider 2.

[0098] Step S3: Adsorb the socket cover plate 52 through the adsorption component 45.

[0099] Step S4: Flip the socket cover plate 52 through the flipping component 44 to expose the socket panel 53.

[0100] Step S5: Detect the exposed size of the socket panel 53 through the detection component 46.

[0101] The detection method of the size detection device of the socket provided by the present application can quickly detect the size of the concealed socket 5 through the above steps, with high automation and high detection accuracy.

[0102] One or more embodiments of the present application are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the present application. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
