Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of object detection in environmental test chambers, and particularly relates to an object state detection device for an environmental test chamber. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of modern industrial manufacturing levels, many products, especially components and complete machines in the fields of electronics, automobiles, aerospace, etc., need to ensure stable performance under various complex and extreme environmental conditions; environmental test chambers can simulate different environmental factors such as high temperature, low temperature, high humidity, low air pressure, salt spray, etc. to test the tolerance of products. During the test process, it becomes crucial to accurately detect the state, position, and whether there are abnormalities of the tested object placed in the test chamber. For example, detecting whether the product has displacement, deformation, damage, etc. during the test, and detecting the objects inside it to better evaluate the test results and ensure the effectiveness of the test; however, the test process of environmental test chambers often lasts for a long time and involves changes in various environmental parameters; traditional manual monitoring methods have many limitations, such as being difficult to observe continuously in real time, prone to observation errors, and inaccurate and untimely data recording.
[0003] In recent years, sensor technology, machine vision technology, image processing technology, etc. have been continuously developed and matured. High-precision photoelectric sensors can accurately sense the position changes of objects, and advanced machine vision systems can clearly capture the appearance details of objects in the test chamber and judge whether there are damages, etc. through image analysis; but in an environmental test chamber, if you want to continuously observe the detected object in a 360° surround without interfering with the object to be measured, in the prior art, it is usually to observe the object through multiple cameras, but it is difficult to plan and set up more cameras in the chamber, and a more powerful upper computer is required to process and analyze the data of multiple cameras to draw an observation conclusion; and it is necessary to consider the high and low temperature tolerance of the shooting cameras in the test chamber, and the cameras need to be protected, with a complex structure and high later maintenance costs.

Specific embodiments
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] Embodiment 1: An object state detection device for an environmental test chamber, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it includes a photographing mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a driving mechanism 2. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating ring 1 and a fixing mechanism. The photographing mechanism is arranged on the rotating ring 1, and the rotating ring 1 is an annular structural member. The fixing mechanism is arranged inside the rotating ring 1 and distributed at both ends of the rotating ring 1. The fixing mechanism is used to fix the object to be measured inside the rotating ring 1. The object to be measured is fixed in the middle of the rotating ring 1. When the rotating ring 1 rotates, the object to be measured remains stationary. The rotating ring 1 is arranged on the driving mechanism 2. The driving mechanism 2 is used to drive the rotating ring 1 to rotate. The rotating ring 1 rotates 360° along the y-axis direction at its connection position with the driving mechanism 2 to drive the photographing mechanism to rotate around the object to be measured for observation. The driving mechanism 2 includes a base 21 and a driving component. The base 21 is a plate-shaped structural member. The base 21 is connected to the bottom of the environmental test chamber and is used to fix the rotating ring 1 and the object to be measured. The driving component is arranged on the base 21. The driving component includes a protective shell 22, a first driving motor 23, a worm gear 24, a worm 25, and a rotating rod 26. The worm gear 24 and the worm 25 are meshed and connected inside the protective shell 22. The first driving motor 23 is connected to the worm inside the protective shell 22 and drives the worm gear 24 and the worm 25 to rotate. The protective shell 22 limits the worm gear 24, the worm 25, and the first driving motor 23. The rotating rod 26 is arranged on the worm gear 24 and fixedly connected to the side surface of the worm gear 24. The rotating rod 26 rotates following the worm gear 24. The end of the rotating rod 26 extends out from the protective shell 22 and is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 1. The rotation of the rotating rod 26 drives the rotation of the rotating ring 1, so that the photographing mechanism rotates around the object to be measured.
[0024] Embodiment 2: On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the fixing mechanism, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the fixing mechanism includes a first fixing component, a second fixing component and a cable component. The first fixing component is arranged close to the driving mechanism 2. The second fixing component is arranged opposite to and coaxially with the first fixing component. The cable component is connected to the first fixing component and the second fixing component, and the cable component fixes the object to be measured in the middle of the rotating ring 1. The first fixing component includes a first connecting piece 3 and a first bearing 31. The first connecting piece 3 is a rod-shaped structure, and its top end is connected to the cable component. The rotating rod 26 is a cylindrical structure. The first bearing 31 is arranged inside the rotating rod 26. The outer side of the first bearing 31 is connected to the rotating rod 26, and its inner side is connected to the first connecting piece 3. The first connecting piece 3 passes through the rotating ring 1, the rotating rod 26, the first bearing 31, the worm gear 24 and the protective shell 22 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the base 21. When the rotating rod 26 rotates, the rotating ring 1 rotates accordingly, and the first connecting piece 3 remains stationary. The second fixing component includes a second connecting piece 4 and a second bearing. The second bearing is arranged on the rotating ring 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 1. The outer side of the second bearing is connected to the rotating ring 1, and the inner side of the second bearing is sleeved with the second connecting piece 4. The second connecting piece 4 is connected to the second bearing in an insertion and mating manner. At the same time, a limit cap 41 is arranged on the second connecting piece 4. The bottom of the limit cap 41 is a hemispherical structure. The limit cap 41 is located outside the rotating ring 1 and its bottom abuts against the inner end face of the second bearing. The top of the second connecting piece 4 can pass through the limit cap 41. The limit cap 41 is threadedly connected to the second connecting piece 4. After the second connecting piece 4 is fixed, rotating the limit cap 41 can adjust the tightness of the object to be measured on the rotating ring 1. When the rotating ring 1 rotates, the outside of the second bearing rotates accordingly, and the inside of the second bearing remains stationary with the second connecting piece 4.

One end of the first cable group 5 is connected to the first connecting piece 3, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the object to be measured. The second cable group 6 is connected to the second connecting piece 4, and the other end is connected to the top of the object to be measured. Springs 7 are arranged between the ends of the two cables of the first cable group 5 and the first connecting piece 3. The springs 7 can make the cables maintain a relatively constant tension on the object to be measured to adapt to the stress generated by the thermal expansion and contraction of the object to be measured due to high and low temperatures in the test chamber. When the object to be measured is installed, rotate the limit cap 41 to tighten and fix the object to be measured with the cables. Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be elaborated here.
[0025] Embodiment 3: On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the photographing mechanism, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the photographing mechanism includes a second driving motor 8 and a vacuum camera assembly 9. The vacuum camera assembly 9 is arranged on the second driving motor 8 and is located inside the rotating ring 1. A driving wheel 81 and two limiting wheels 82 are arranged on the second driving motor 8. The driving wheel 81 is located outside the rotating ring 1, and the two limiting wheels 82 are located inside the rotating ring 1. The limiting wheels 82 cooperate with the driving wheel 81 to fix the second driving motor 8 on the rotating ring 1 to prevent the second driving motor 8 from falling, so that the second driving motor 8 makes a reciprocating motion on one side of the rotating ring 1. The running track of the second driving motor 8 is restricted by the first fixing component and the second fixing component, so that it can only make a reciprocating motion on one side of the rotating ring 1. At the same time, the second driving motor 8 can be controlled by an external host computer or a remote controller to stay at any position on one side of the rotating ring 1 or make a reciprocating motion within a range. However, with the rotation of the rotating ring 1, the vacuum camera assembly 9 can take all-round pictures of the object to be measured. The vacuum camera assembly 9 includes a housing 91, a thermal imaging camera 92 and a temperature control component. The housing 91 is connected to the side of the second driving motor 8. The housing 91 is a vacuum double-layer structure. The vacuum-structured housing 91 can physically isolate the environmental temperature of the test chamber and reduce the influence of the external temperature on the thermal imaging camera 92. A germanium window 93 is arranged at the front end of the housing 91. The lens of the thermal imaging camera 92 is coaxially arranged with the germanium window 93. A heating ring 94 is arranged at the edge of the germanium window 93 inside the housing 91. The heating ring 94 heats the germanium window 93 to prevent fog condensation. The temperature control component is arranged at the rear end of the housing 91 and is used to adjust the temperature inside the housing 91. The temperature control component includes an aerogel interlayer 95, a microchannel heat exchanger 96 and a forced circulation fan 97. The aerogel interlayer 95 is used to seal the bottom of the housing 91. The end of the microchannel heat exchanger 96 passes through the aerogel interlayer 95. The forced circulation fan 97 is located inside the housing 91 and is connected to the microchannel heat exchanger 96. The microchannel heat exchanger 96 can heat or cool the temperature inside the housing 91. The forced circulation fan 97 is used for forced heat exchange inside the housing 91 to keep the temperature inside the housing 91 stable. The aerogel interlayer 95 can isolate the transfer of the external temperature of the housing 91. Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.
