Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of detection technology, and more specifically, relates to a high-strength fastener detection device. Background Art
[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing and equipment, the reliability of high-strength fasteners (such as bolts and nuts) directly determines the secure connection of critical structures. Their testing is a core process for ensuring product quality. Such testing equipment is primarily used in aerospace, rail transit, heavy machinery, and other applications, requiring comprehensive testing of fasteners' tensile strength, thread fit accuracy, and dynamic torque performance.
[0003] However, existing high-strength fastener testing equipment has a significant efficiency bottleneck in the coordinated testing of bolt torque and thread quality. The current method requires the operator to manually engage the nut with the rotating bolt, simultaneously observe the thread matching status during the torque test, and determine by hand or visually whether there are defects such as scratches, deformation, or poor engagement on the internal threads of the nut. This method not only requires frequent starting and stopping of the equipment to load and unload test pieces, resulting in a more than 30% increase in single-piece testing time, but manual intervention can easily lead to problems such as uneven torque loading rate and thread alignment deviation, affecting the consistency of test data.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure and defects are studied and improved, and a high-strength fastener detection device is provided to achieve a purpose with greater practical value. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, multiple groups of T-shaped slide grooves are arranged at intervals on the top side of the inspection table, and multiple groups of sliders matching the T-shaped slide grooves are arranged at intervals on the bottom side of the vertical plate. The vertical plate is slidably connected to the inspection table through the bottom sliders. An electric cylinder is installed on one side of the top of the inspection table, and the output end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The present invention utilizes a meshing transmission between the half gear and the drive frame in conjunction with a reciprocating drive mechanism to achieve intermittent forward and reverse rotation of the detection screw, automatically completing the nut screwing-in, torque loading, and unscrewing actions without requiring manual intervention. A contact sensor, an electric cylinder, and the detection screw cooperate to ensure that when one end of the detection screw contacts the contact sensor, the detection screw can be smoothly screwed into the nut, indicating a good nut. Otherwise, it cannot be screwed in, indicating a defective nut, thereby improving the practicality of the detection device.

[0026] Among them, there are at least two groups of multiple groups of brackets 10, and the discharging mechanism includes a conveyor belt 14 fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two groups of brackets 10. The two groups of conveyor belts 14 are used to convey defective nuts 12 and good nuts 12 respectively. Through at least two groups of brackets 10 and corresponding conveyor belts 14, automatic sorting and transportation of defective and good nuts 12 are realized, thereby improving sorting efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring classification accuracy.
[0027] Among them, multiple groups of driving teeth that can mesh with the half gear 4 are arranged at intervals at the inner top end of the driving frame 5. The driving mechanism includes a first driving rod 6 installed on the side wall of the driving frame 5. The other end of the first driving rod 6 is hinged with a second driving rod 7. The other end of the second driving rod 7 is rotatably installed with a driving wheel 8. The driving wheel 8 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the vertical plate 2 and is drivingly connected to a motor.
[0028] Among them, multiple groups of T-shaped sliding grooves 18 are opened at intervals on the top side of the detection table 1. Multiple groups of sliders matching the T-shaped sliding grooves 18 are arranged at intervals on the bottom side of the vertical plate 2. The vertical plate 2 is slidably connected to the detection table 1 through the bottom sliders. An electric cylinder 17 is installed on one side of the top end of the detection table 1. The output end of the electric cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate 2. The cooperation between the T-shaped sliding groove 18 and the slider at the bottom end of the vertical plate 2 realizes smooth sliding. The electric cylinder 17 can accurately control the displacement of the vertical plate 2 to meet the detection requirements of nuts 12 of different sizes, improving the flexibility and detection range of the equipment.

The driving teeth inside the driving frame 5 mesh with the half gear 4, converting the reciprocating motion into the forward and reverse intermittent rotation of the detection screw 3, realizing the automatic screwing into of the nut 12, applying torque and reverse screwing out actions.

[0033] Good and bad product determination mechanism for the nut 12: When the detection screw 3 is screwed into the nut 12, if the screwing is successful and the end of the detection screw 3 contacts the contact sensor 13, the controller determines it as a good product; if it cannot be screwed in (thread defect) and the sensor has no signal, it is determined as a defective product;
[0034] Sorting and conveying: After the detection is completed, the qualified and defective nuts 12 are respectively guided by two groups of conveyor belts 14 to the corresponding receiving boxes 15 to achieve automatic material separation;
[0035] System collaborative control: The controller integrates the regulation of the stroke of the electric cylinder 17, the start and stop of the drive motor, the operation of the conveyor belt 14, and the processing of sensor signals. No manual intervention is required throughout the process, realizing the full-automatic detection and sorting of the thread quality of high-strength nuts 12.
