[0002] In traditional multi-station dimensional inspection systems, manual or single-station inspection methods are usually adopted. The traditional station inspection system mainly relies on manual operation or a single sensor to complete the dimensional measurement of each station. This method not only has low efficiency but is also easily affected by human factors, resulting in measurement errors. The manual measurement method is often cumbersome and time-consuming, and the inspection process is relatively complex. Especially when dealing with a large number of parts, it is easy to have operation mistakes or omissions. In addition, the automated systems for multi-station dimensional inspection usually have difficulty adapting to parts of different specifications and sizes. Due to the large dimensional differences between each part, the inspection process of the traditional system may require repeated adjustment and manual setting, increasing the downtime and adjustment complexity of the production line. Therefore, the existing multi-station dimensional inspection systems have problems such as low inspection efficiency, low automation level, and poor adaptability, and cannot meet the requirements of modern production lines for efficient and accurate dimensional inspection.

Detailed implementation manners

[0019] The following combines with the attached Figures 1-6 drawings and further illustrates the technical solutions of the present invention through specific implementation manners.

[0020] The present invention provides an on-line dimensional inspection system for machined parts with multiple workstations, which includes a support frame 120. An adjustment motor bracket 121 is fixedly installed on the support frame 120, and an adjustment motor 122 is fixedly installed on the adjustment motor bracket 121. An adjustment lead screw 125 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the adjustment motor 122. The adjustment lead screw 125 can drive two detection conductive contact plates 126 to move relative to each other. The two detection conductive contact plates 126 are slidably arranged on the support frame 120 through springs 128. The support frame 120 is fixedly installed on two parallel side support panels 112. A pressing chamber 136 is also fixedly provided on the side support panel 112. A pressing piston 131 is slidably and sealingly arranged in the pressing chamber 136. A support sliding column 129 is coaxially and fixedly installed on the pressing piston 131. A lower pressing plate 134 is fixedly installed at the top end of the support sliding column 129. It further includes a conveyor belt 135, which is used to convey the parts processed at multiple workstations to the position of the lower pressing plate 134. The lower pressing plate 134 is arranged inside the conveyor belt 135, and the upper surface of the lower pressing plate 134 is in sliding contact and cooperation with the conveyor belt 135.

[0021] Two parallel contact plate support sliding rods 127 are fixedly installed on each detection conductive contact plate 126. The contact plate support sliding rods 127 are in sliding cooperation with the support frame 120. Springs 128 are arranged around each contact plate support sliding rod 127. The two ends of the spring 128 are fixedly fitted with the detection conductive contact plate 126 and the support frame 120. An adjustment lifting beam 123 is sleeved on the adjustment lead screw 125 through a thread. The two ends of the adjustment lifting beam 123 are movably connected to the two detection conductive contact plates 126 through adjustment connecting rods 124.

[0022] A pressure guiding seat 130 is fixedly communicated with the bottom end of the pressing chamber 136. An annular leaf spring 133 is elastically arranged between the pressing chamber 136 and the lower pressing plate 134. A ventilation hole 132 is opened at the top end of the pressing chamber 136. The pressure guiding seat 130 is fixedly communicated with a detection cylinder 113 through a pressure guiding pipe 119. The detection cylinder 113 is fixed on the side support panel 112. A reflective piston plate 114 is slidably and sealingly arranged in the detection cylinder 113. The detection cylinder 113, the pressure guiding pipe 119, the pressure guiding seat 130, and the pressing chamber 136 are filled with liquid, and the pressing piston 131 and the support sliding column 129 are hollow inside. A connection mounting plate 118 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the detection cylinder 113. A laser emitter 115, a reflective lens 116, and a light sensor 117 are fixedly installed on the connection mounting plate 118. A reflective surface is arranged on the upper surface of the reflective piston plate 114. The light emitted by the laser emitter 115 is reflected by the reflective piston plate 114 to the reflective lens 116, and then reflected by the reflective lens 116 to the light sensor 117. The movement change of the reflective piston plate 114 is detected by the light sensor 117.

[0023] An electromagnet support 108 and a copper plate support 109 are also fixedly installed on the base 101. A copper plate 110 is fixedly installed on the copper plate support 109, and a resistance sliding bar 102 and an electromagnet 107 are fixedly installed on the electromagnet support 108. The copper plate 110 is arranged inside the conveyor belt 135, and the upper surface of the copper plate 110 is in sliding contact with the conveyor belt 135. A permanent magnet sliding rod 106 is slidably fitted at the axial center position of the electromagnet 107. A permanent magnet contact block 111 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the permanent magnet sliding rod 106, and a driving rod 105 is fixedly installed at the top end of the permanent magnet sliding rod 106. A resistance sliding block 104 is slidably arranged on the resistance sliding bar 102 in a conductive manner, and the resistance sliding block 104 is movably connected to the top end of the driving rod 105 through a measuring sliding connecting rod 103.

[0024] The working principle of a multi-station on-line dimension detection system for machined parts disclosed by the present invention is as follows: all stations are arranged in series and placed on the movement path of the conveyor belt 135. The machined parts are placed on the conveyor belt 135, and the conveyor belt 135 conveys the parts between two detection conductive contact plates 126. The gap between the two detection conductive contact plates 126 represents the outer diameter of the part (circular part). The two detection conductive contact plates 126 and a buzzer alarm are connected in series in a DC power supply. If the size of the part exceeds the standard, it will contact the two detection conductive contact plates 126, resulting in the formation of a closed circuit between the two detection conductive contact plates 126. At this time, the buzzer alarm sounds, indicating that the size of the part exceeds the standard. Specifically, the distance between the two detection conductive contact plates 126 can be adjusted by controlling the adjustment motor 122, that is, adjusting the alarm threshold. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 122 drives the adjustment screw rod 125 to rotate, and the adjustment screw rod 125 drives the adjustment lifting beam 123 to move axially, and then drives the two detection conductive contact plates 126 to move relative to each other through two adjustment connecting rods 124.When the outer diameter of the part is qualified, it will move to the position of the lower pressure plate 134. Under the action of gravity, the part will press down the lower pressure plate 134 (meanwhile, the annular leaf spring 133 deforms). The lower pressure plate 134 applies a downward force to the lower pressure piston 131 through the support sliding column 129. The lower pressure piston 131 pushes the liquid inside the lower pressure chamber 136 to flow through the pressure guide pipe 119 into the inside of the detection cylinder 113, resulting in more liquid inside the detection cylinder 113. At this time, the liquid inside the detection cylinder 113 will push the reflective piston plate 114 to move upward, which will cause the position where the light emitted by the laser emitter 115 irradiates on the reflective piston plate 114 to change (the light emitted by the laser emitter 115 irradiates obliquely on the reflective piston plate 114). At this time, the position of the light reflected from the reflective piston plate 114 to the reflective lens 116 will also change. At the same time, the position of the light reflected from the reflective lens 116 to the light sensor 117 will change. By detecting whether the light changes through the light sensor 117, when the light changes, it indicates that the position of the reflective piston plate 114 has changed, and the movement amplitude of the light is proportional to the weight of the part. At this time, the light sensor 117 is used as a trigger threshold to control the electromagnet 107 to cut off the power. The electromagnet 107 is always in the energized state. The electromagnet 107 attracts the permanent magnet sliding rod 106 to the topmost position. When the electromagnet 107 cuts off the power, the magnetic force cooperation between the electromagnet 107 and the permanent magnet sliding rod 106 disappears. Under the action of gravity, the permanent magnet sliding rod 106 and the permanent magnet contact block 111 move downward. The downward movement of the permanent magnet contact block 111 makes it approach the copper plate 110. At this time, the magnetic field of the permanent magnet contact block 111 passes through the copper plate 110, thereby generating an induced current inside the copper plate 110. The induced current will generate a reverse magnetic field inside the copper plate 110, thereby preventing the permanent magnet contact block 111 from moving downward, so as to realize the annular surface fall of the permanent magnet contact block 111. The falling speed of the permanent magnet contact block 111 matches the speed of the part moving from the lower pressure plate 134 to the copper plate 110. Then the permanent magnet contact block 111 contacts the upper surface of the part. The thickness of the conveyor belt 135 is known. Therefore, subtracting the thickness of the conveyor belt 135 from the distance between the copper plate 110 and the permanent magnet contact block 111 is the thickness dimension of the part. Therefore, only by knowing the movement distance of the permanent magnet contact block 111 can we know (the distance between the highest point position of the permanent magnet contact block 111 and the copper plate 110 is known). When the permanent magnet contact block 111 and the permanent magnet sliding rod 106 move downward, they will drive the driving rod 105 to move together. The driving rod 105 drives the resistance sliding block 104 to slide on the resistance sliding bar 102 through the measuring sliding link 103. Therefore, one end of the resistance sliding bar 102 and the resistance sliding block 104 are connected in series to the DC circuit. By detecting the magnitude of the current in the circuit, the magnitude of the current is related to the movement distance of the permanent magnet contact block 111 (becomes larger or smaller, depending on which end of the resistance sliding bar 102 is connected to the circuit).After the measurement is completed, the electromagnet 107 is started again. At this time, the permanent magnet contact block 111 is reset, and it is necessary to ensure the distance between the two parts on the conveyor belt 135.
