[0013] How the device operates:
[0014] Step 1: Take a photo at a time, and convey the casting body through the conveyor belt. When the casting body moves to the two sets of size detection sensors in front, the casting body is positioned by the size detection sensors. At this time, the conveyor belt is closed, and the output end of the fifth electric push rod drives the second detection frame to move down until the second camera heads at both ends of the movable frame are at both ends of the casting body. After the size of the casting body is detected by the size detection sensor, the second motor drives the slider and the movable frame to move through the reverse threaded rod, so that the second camera heads are at the appropriate positions on both sides of the casting body, thereby completing the automatic adjustment work. At this time, the casting body is photographed and sampled by the two sets of second camera heads and uploaded;
[0015] Step 2: Take a second photo. After one end of the casting body is fitted with the rotating plate, the third electric push rod controls the adjustment block and the clamping plate to move downward, and the fourth electric push rod is used to clamp the clamping plate and the rotating plate to clamp the casting body. The second electric push rod is used to move the first detection frame and the casting body upward, and the first camera head is used to take photos of the casting body and upload them. The first motor rotates the worm gear, the movable rotating rod and the rotating plate through the worm, driving the casting body and the angle rotating ring to rotate. The angle detection sensor detects and controls the angle of rotation of the angle rotating ring, the rotating plate and the casting body until one circle is taken.
[0016] Step 3: Unlock, take a second photo of the casting body, and unlock the casting body before rotating it. The push-pull electromagnet drives the inclined block to move backward so that the inclined surface of the inclined block no longer conflicts with the inclined slot. At this time, the two sets of lock plates fit together under the action of the torsion spring, and unlocking is completed.
[0017] Step 4: Transfer, the second electric push rod, the first detection rack and the casting body are moved to the top of another set of conveyor belts through the first electric push rod and the moving plate, and then the first detection rack and the second electric push rod are reset again;
[0018] Step 5: Second random inspection: the height of the extension plate and the probe is controlled by the fourth motor and the second threaded rod so that the probe is at the top of the casting body. The movable platform, the extension plate and the probe are moved by the third motor and the first threaded rod, so that the casting body is scanned by the probe, and the ultrasonic processor analyzes the inside of the casting body.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The user controls the device to work fully automatically through the control panel, and the casting body is conveyed by the conveyor belt. When the casting body moves to the front two sets of size detection sensors, the position of the casting body is detected by the size detection sensors. When the casting body moves to the middle of the size detection sensors, the conveyor belt is closed, and the output end of the fifth electric push rod drives the second detection frame to move down until the second camera heads at both ends of the movable frame are at both ends of the casting body. After the size detection sensors detect the size of the casting body, the second motor drives the slider and the movable frame to move through the reverse threaded rod, so that the second camera heads are at the appropriate positions on both sides of the casting body, thereby completing the automatic adjustment work. At this time, the two sets of second camera heads are used to take pictures of the casting body, sample it, and upload it for detection. After the completion, the fifth electric push rod is used to reset the second detection frame and the movable frame to facilitate the detection of the next group of casting bodies. When the casting body moves to the middle of the two groups of size detection sensors at the back, it is at the bottom end of the center of the second electric push rod and the first detection frame, and one end of the casting body is also in contact with the rotating plate. At this time, the third electric push rod controls the adjustment block and the clamping plate to move downward until the clamping plate is in the middle of the casting body, and then the fourth electric push rod is used to move the connecting head and the clamping plate until the clamping plate and the rotating plate clamp the casting body, and the second electric push rod is used to move the first detection frame and the casting body upward. At this time, the first camera head is used to take pictures of the casting body for sampling and uploading, and then the push-pull electromagnet drives the inclined block to move backward so that the inclined surface of the inclined block no longer conflicts with the inclined groove. The first motor is then unlocked by pushing and pulling the electromagnet and the bevel block, and the movable rotating rod and the worm gear are driven by the first motor, so that the movable rotating rod, the rotating plate and the first detection frame are locked. The rotating rod, rotating plate and casting body rotate, and the angle is controlled by the angle rotating ring and the angle detection sensor. The photos are taken and uploaded in sequence until a circle is taken. After the sampling and detection, the casting body is placed on the conveyor belt by the second electric push rod, and the clamping plate and the rotating plate are no longer clamped on the casting body by the fourth electric push rod. The first detection frame is moved up again by the second electric push rod so that the rotating plate does not block the movement of the casting body, and then the conveyor belt drives the casting body to move. When the casting body moves out of the two sets of size detection sensors at the back, the second electric push rod drives the first detection frame to move down and wait for the next set of casting bodies. At the same time, the data of the casting body and the test results after the detection are displayed on the control panel to remind the user whether it is a qualified product.When the set number of casting bodies has been inspected, the first electric push rod and the movable plate cause the second electric push rod, the first inspection frame and the casting body to move to the top of another set of conveyor belts, and then the first inspection frame and the second electric push rod are reset again. At the same time, the height of the extension plate and the probe are controlled by the fourth motor and the second threaded rod, so that the probe is at the top of the casting body. The movable platform, the extension plate and the probe are moved by the third motor and the first threaded rod, so that the casting body is scanned by the probe, and the ultrasonic processor analyzes the inside of the casting body. Finally, the control panel displays and records the results, and the casting is transported by the conveyor belt after the inspection is completed. This device can perform inspections fully automatically, thereby reducing the user's workload and facilitating user operation. By performing inspections in two ways and in all aspects, the inspection quality can be further improved, the inspection error can be reduced, and the qualified rate of the product can be increased.

The output end of the fourth motor 43 drives the second threaded rod 42 to rotate, and the height of the extension plate 41 and the probe 44 can be adjusted by rotating the second threaded rod 42, so that the probe 44 is at the top end of the casting body 5, and then the output end of the third motor 40 drives the first threaded rod 39 to rotate, and the movable platform 37, the extension plate 41 and the probe 44 are moved by the rotating first threaded rod 39, so that the casting body 5 is scanned by the probe 44, and the ultrasonic processor 36 analyzes the interior of the casting body 5, and finally displays and records it through the control panel 3, so that secondary detection can be performed to further improve the accuracy of the detection;
[0040] It should be noted that the control ends of the first motor 26, the angle rotation ring 27, the angle detection sensor 28, and the push-pull electromagnet 52 are all electrically connected to the external power supply through the control panel 3.

[0041] The device operates as follows:
[0042] Step 1: Take a photo at one time. The casting body 5 is conveyed by the conveyor belt 4. When the casting body 5 moves to the two sets of size detection sensors 12 in front, the casting body 5 is positioned by the size detection sensors 12. At this time, the conveyor belt 4 is closed, and the output end of the fifth electric push rod 35 drives the second detection frame 29 to move downward until the second camera heads 34 at both ends of the movable frame 30 are at both ends of the casting body 5. After the size detection sensor 12 detects the size of the casting body 5, the second motor 32 drives the slider 31 and the movable frame 30 to move through the reverse threaded rod 33, so that the second camera heads 34 are at appropriate positions on both sides of the casting body 5, thereby completing the automatic adjustment work. At this time, the casting body 5 is photographed and sampled and uploaded by the two sets of second camera heads 34;
[0043] Step 2: Take a second photo. After one end of the casting body 5 is fitted with the rotating plate 22, the third electric push rod 14 controls the adjustment block 13 and the clamping plate 19 to move downward, and the fourth electric push rod 17 causes the clamping plate 19 and the rotating plate 22 to clamp the casting body 5. The second electric push rod 10 causes the first detection frame 9 and the casting body 5 to move upward, and the first camera head 11 is used to take photos of the casting body 5, sample the photos, and upload them. The first motor 26 rotates the worm gear 24, the movable rotating rod 23, and the rotating plate 22 through the worm 25, driving the casting body 5 and the angle rotating ring 27 to rotate. The angle detection sensor 28 detects and controls the angle of rotation of the angle rotating ring 27, the rotating plate 22, and the casting body 5 until one cycle is taken.
[0044] Step 3: Unlocking. The casting body 5 is photographed for the second time. The casting body 5 needs to be unlocked before it is rotated. The push-pull electromagnet 52 drives the inclined block 53 to move backward so that the inclined surface of the inclined block 53 no longer conflicts with the inclined groove 51. At this time, the two sets of lock plates 50 are in contact with each other under the action of the torsion spring 49, and the unlocking is completed.
[0045] Step 4: Transfer, the second electric push rod 10, the first detection frame 9 and the casting body 5 are moved to the top of another set of conveyor belts 4 through the first electric push rod 8 and the movable plate 6, and then the first detection frame 9 and the second electric push rod 10 are reset again;
[0046] Step 5: Second random inspection, the height of the extension plate 41 and the probe 44 are controlled by the fourth motor 43 and the second threaded rod 42, so that the probe 44 is at the top of the casting body 5, and the movable platform 37, the extension plate 41 and the probe 44 are moved by the third motor 40 and the first threaded rod 39, so that the casting body 5 is scanned by the probe 44, and the ultrasonic processor 36 analyzes the interior of the casting body 5.
[0047] Working principle: The user controls the device to work fully automatically through the control panel 3, and the casting body 5 is conveyed by the conveyor belt 4. When the casting body 5 moves to the front two sets of size detection sensors 12, the position of the casting body 5 is detected by the size detection sensor 12. When the casting body 5 moves to the middle of the size detection sensor 12, the conveyor belt 4 is closed, and the output end of the fifth electric push rod 35 drives the second detection frame 29 to move downward until the second camera heads 34 at both ends of the movable frame 30 are at both ends of the casting body 5. After the size of the casting body 5 is detected by the size detection sensor 12, the output end of the second motor 32 drives the reverse threaded rod 33 to rotate. By rotating the reverse threaded rod 33, the two sets of sliders 31 can be simultaneously approached or The movable frame 30 moves away from each other, and the moving slider 31 drives the movable frame 30 to move until the second camera head 34 is in the appropriate position on both sides of the casting body 5, thereby completing the automatic adjustment work. At this time, the casting body 5 is photographed and sampled and uploaded by the two groups of second camera heads 34. After the detection is completed, the second detection frame 29 and the movable frame 30 are reset by the fifth electric push rod 35 to facilitate the detection of the next group of casting bodies 5. When the casting body 5 moves to the middle of the two groups of size detection sensors 12 at the back, it is at the bottom end of the center of the second electric push rod 10 and the first detection frame 9, and one end of the casting body 5 and the rotating plate 22 are also in a state of fitting with the rotating plate 22. At this time, the output end of the third electric push rod 14 is extended, thereby causing the adjustment block 13 and the clamping plate 19 to move down until the clamping plate 19 is in the middle of the casting body 5, and then the fourth electric push rod 17 is used to move the connecting head 16 and the clamping plate 19 until the clamping plate 19 and the rotating plate 22 clamp the casting body 5, and the first detection frame 9 and the casting body 5 are moved up by the second electric push rod 10. At this time, the casting body 5 is photographed and sampled and uploaded by the first camera head 11, and then the push-pull electromagnet 52 drives the inclined block 53 to move backward, so that the inclined surface of the inclined block 53 no longer conflicts with the inclined groove 51. At this time, under the action of the torsion spring 49's own rebound force, the inner rotating rod 48 and the torsion spring 49 are also caused to rotate relative to each other, and the two sets of lock plates 50 are driven to rotate by the inner rotating rod 48 and the torsion spring 49 until the two sets of lock plates 50 are fitted together, and the first motor 26 drives the worm gear 2 through the worm 25. 4. The movable rotating rod 23 and the rotating plate 22 rotate, driving the casting body 5 and the angle rotating ring 27 to rotate. After the angle rotating ring 27 rotates ninety degrees, the first motor 26 is turned off by the angle detection sensor 28. At the same time, the push-pull electromagnet 52 causes the inclined block 53 to be inserted into the inner part of the inclined groove 51 between the two sets of locking plates 50. At this time, the inclined surface of the inclined block 53 conflicts with the inclined surface of the inclined groove 51, which enables the locking plate 50 to perform a circular motion with the inner rotating rod 48 as the axis. At this time, the two groups move to the side away from each other, and at the same time, the outer sleeve 47 and the inner rotating rod 48 are driven to rotate to the opposite side through the locking plate 50. The outer sleeve 47 and the inner rotating rod 48 can compress the torsion spring 49 until the two ends of the locking plate 50 conflict with the inner wall of the locking groove 46.Thus, the movable rotating rod 23, the rotating plate 22 and the first detection frame 9 can be locked, and the gap between the worm gear 24 and the worm 25 can be avoided so that the movable rotating rod 23, the rotating plate 22 and the casting body 5 do not shake, thereby affecting the photographing and sampling of the first photographing head 11, further improving the sampling accuracy of the device, and then unlocking is carried out by the push-pull electromagnet 52 and the inclined block 53, and the movable rotating rod 23, the rotating plate 22 and the casting body 5 are rotated by the first motor 26, the worm 25 and the worm gear 24, and the angle is controlled by the angle rotating ring 27 and the angle detection sensor 28, and photographing and uploading are carried out in sequence. After a week of filming and sampling, the casting body 5 is placed on the conveyor belt 4 by the second electric push rod 10, and the clamping plate 19 and the rotating plate 22 are no longer clamped on the casting body 5 by the fourth electric push rod 17. The first detection frame 9 is moved up again by the second electric push rod 10 so that the rotating plate 22 does not block the movement of the casting body 5. Then the conveyor belt 4 drives the casting body 5 to move. When the casting body 5 moves out of the two sets of size detection sensors 12 at the back, the second electric push rod 10 drives the first detection frame 9 to move down, waiting for the next set of casting bodies 5. At the same time, the detection of the casting body is completed through the control panel 3. 5 and the test results are displayed to remind the user whether it is a qualified product. When the casting body 5 is tested to the set number, the output end of the first electric push rod 8 drives the movable plate 6 to move, and the movable plate 6 moves the second electric push rod 10, the first detection frame 9 and the casting body 5 to the top of another group of conveyor belts 4, and then the first detection frame 9 and the second electric push rod 10 are reset again. At the same time, the output end of the fourth motor 43 drives the second threaded rod 42 to rotate, and the height of the extension plate 41 and the probe 44 can be adjusted by the rotating second threaded rod 42, so that the probe 44 is at the top of the casting body 5, and then the second electric push rod 10 is reset again. The output end of the third motor 40 drives the first threaded rod 39 to rotate. The rotating first threaded rod 39 causes the movable platform 37, the extension plate 41, and the probe 44 to move. The probe 44 then scans the casting body 5. The ultrasonic processor 36 analyzes the interior of the casting body 5. Finally, the control panel 3 displays and records the information. After the test is completed, the casting is transported via the conveyor belt 4. This device can perform testing fully automatically, thereby reducing the user's workload and facilitating user operation. By performing testing in two ways and in all aspects, it can further improve the quality of testing, reduce testing errors, and increase the product qualification rate.
