Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of detection technology, and specifically relates to a measuring device characterized by mechanical technology, and in particular to a flange detection device and a detection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the core component of pipeline connection, the flange's fixing hole accuracy (hole diameter ±0.05mm, hole spacing ±0.1mm) directly affects the sealing performance. The current industry testing faces multiple bottlenecks:

[0003] 1. Manual inspection has low efficiency and high error rate. When using traditional vernier calipers / feeler gauges for inspection, the speed is slow and is greatly affected by manual experience, resulting in a high error rate.

[0004] 2. CCD vision systems have inherent flaws. CCD vision inspection systems have blind spots, and mounting holes require lubrication during drilling. Lubricant residue on the inner walls of the mounting holes increases the CCD vision inspection system's false positive rate and reduces the accuracy of mounting hole inspection. After inspection, to prevent rust during flange storage, the inner walls of the mounting holes often require lubrication. Existing techniques separate inspection and lubrication processes, reducing efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the detection accuracy of the aperture and hole spacing of the flange fixing holes is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.

[0006] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background technology section is only used to understand the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute information of related technology.

[0067] Research has found that in related technologies, flanges are core components for pipe connections, and the accuracy of their fixing holes (aperture ±0.05mm, hole spacing ±0.1mm) directly affects the sealing performance. Currently, the industry faces multiple bottlenecks in testing:

[0068] 1. Manual inspection has low efficiency and high error rate. When using traditional vernier calipers / feeler gauges for inspection, the speed is slow and is greatly affected by manual experience, resulting in a high error rate.

[0069] 2. CCD vision systems have inherent flaws. CCD vision inspection systems have blind spots, and mounting holes often require lubrication during drilling. Lubricant residue on the inner walls of the mounting holes increases the CCD vision inspection system's false positive rate and reduces the accuracy of mounting hole inspection. After inspection, to prevent rust during flange storage, the inner walls of the mounting holes often need to be lubricated. Existing technologies perform these inspection and lubrication processes separately, reducing efficiency.

[0070] Therefore, how to improve the detection accuracy of the aperture and hole spacing of the flange fixing holes is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.

[0071] The defects in the above solutions and the causes of their occurrence are the results obtained by the inventors after practice and careful research. Therefore, the process of discovering the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure in this article should be the contributions made by the inventors to the present disclosure during the disclosure process.

[0072] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0073] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a flange detection device, including:

[0075] A conveyor belt 1 is located on one side of the inspection platform 2 and is used to transport a flange 5. In this embodiment, the flange is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 50 along its axial direction. A lifting plate 3 is arranged to be raised and lowered within the inspection platform 2; the lifting plate 3 is adapted to drive the inspection member 4 to move up and down. A lifting drive is provided at the bottom of the inspection platform 2, and the lifting plate 3 is fixed to the movable end of the lifting drive, which is adapted to drive the lifting plate 3 to move up and down. Several detection parts 4 are vertically arranged on the lifting plate 3, and one detection part 4 matches a fixing hole 50 of the flange 5, and the distance between two adjacent detection parts 4 is consistent with the hole distance of the qualified flange 5; the interior of the detection platform 2 is hollow, and a supporting plate 20 is horizontally arranged in the middle; the detection part 4 passes through the supporting plate 20; a limit plate 21 is slidingly provided on the inner side wall of the detection platform 2, which is located above the supporting plate 20 and is linked to the lifting plate 3; wherein, after the flange 5 is located on the supporting plate 20, the lifting plate 3 moves upward, and each limit plate 21 slides radially inward synchronously to limit the axial movement of the flange 5; the lifting plate 3 drives each detection part 4 to be inserted into the corresponding fixing hole 50. If all detection parts 4 can be inserted into the fixing hole 50 synchronously, the hole spacing is qualified; if the detection part 4 moves axially along each fixing hole 50 without obstacle, the aperture is qualified.

[0076] In this embodiment, the detection member 4 detects whether the diameter of the fixing hole 50 is smaller than the qualified value. During the installation process of the flange 5, if the diameter of the fixing hole 50 is smaller than the qualified value, the bolts matching the fixing hole 50 cannot be inserted into the fixing hole 50, affecting the normal use of the flange 5. If the diameter of the fixing hole 50 is slightly larger than the qualified value, the use of the flange 5 is not affected during the actual installation process. Furthermore, if the hole spacing between adjacent fixing holes 50 is inconsistent with the qualified value, the detection members 4 cannot be simultaneously inserted into the fixing holes 50, and the flange 5 is judged to be unqualified.

[0077] By using the detection parts 4 whose outer diameter is consistent with the aperture of the fixing hole 50 of the qualified flange 5 and whose spacing is consistent with the hole spacing of the qualified flange 5, each detection part 4 is synchronously inserted into the corresponding fixing hole 50 for mechanical detection. A single action realizes the detection of the aperture and the hole spacing, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0078] Reference Attachment Figure 3 The detection member 4 includes: a detection cylinder 41, which is lifted and lowered to pass through the support plate 20 and is hollow inside; the detection cylinder 41 is suitable for being inserted into the fixing hole 50, and the axial height of the detection cylinder 41 is greater than the thickness of the flange 5. A driving column 42 is set in the detection cylinder 41 for lifting, and the lower end is fixed on the lifting plate 3; an upper limit ring 43 is set at the upper end of the detection cylinder 41, and the outer diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the detection cylinder 41; the outer diameter of the upper limit ring 43 is consistent with the inner diameter of the fixing hole 50 of the qualified flange 5; wherein, the lifting plate 3 drives the driving column 42 to move upward, and the driving column 42 moves upward relative to the detection cylinder 41 until it abuts against the upper limit ring 43, and the driving column 42 drives the detection cylinder 41 to move upward synchronously; the upper limit ring 43 moves axially along the fixing hole 50 to detect whether the aperture is qualified.

[0079] If the diameter of the fixing hole 50 is smaller than the qualified value, the upper limit ring 43 cannot move upward along the inner wall of the fixing hole 50. The outer diameter of the upper limit ring 43 is consistent with the inner diameter of the fixing hole 50. By detecting whether the upper limit ring 43 can move upward along the fixing hole 50, it is detected whether the diameter of the fixing hole 50 of the flange 5 reaches the qualified value. At the same time, if there is a protrusion on the inner wall of the fixing hole 50, the upper limit ring 43 will be limited by the protrusion when moving upward along the fixing hole 50. At this time, the upper limit ring 43 cannot move upward along the fixing hole 50. Through the setting of the upper limit ring 43, it is also possible to detect whether there is a protrusion on the inner wall of the fixing hole 50. When the upper limit ring 43 moves downward relative to the flange 5, the grease on the oiling cotton 22 flows into the surface of the upper limit ring 43 through the boss 45, and grease is applied to the inner wall of the fixing hole 50 when the upper limit ring 43 moves downward relative to the flange 5.

[0080] Reference Attachment Figure 3 and Figure 4In order to push the upper limit ring 43 to move upward, a positioning plate 44 is provided at the upper end of the driving column 42, and the outer diameter of the positioning plate 44 is consistent with the inner diameter of the detection cylinder 41; wherein, when the driving column 42 moves upward until the positioning plate 44 abuts against the upper limit ring 43, the driving column 42 is suitable for pushing the detection cylinder 41 to move upward synchronously, so that the upper limit ring 43 moves axially upward along the fixing hole 50. Furthermore, a boss 45 is provided at the upper end of the positioning plate 44. The outer diameter of the boss 45 is consistent with the inner diameter of the upper limit ring 43, and the axial thickness of the boss 45 is greater than the thickness of the upper limit ring 43. The bottom wall of the limit plate 21 is provided with an oiling cotton 22, which is located above the boss 45. When the detection cylinder 41 moves upward to protrude from the flange 5, the boss 45 squeezes the oiling cotton 22 and deforms it, causing the grease to flow along the surface of the boss 45 to the surface of the upper limit ring 43. When the detection cylinder 41 moves downward, the upper limit ring 43 slides downward along the inner wall of the fixing hole 50 to apply grease to the inner wall of the fixing hole 50. The lifting plate 3 is conical, and its outer diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0081] Continue to refer to the attached Figure 3 A linkage plate 23 is slidingly provided on the inner wall of the detection platform 2. The linkage plate 23 extends radially along the detection platform 2 and is connected to the limit plate 21 through a connecting rod 24. When the linkage plate 23 slides radially, it drives the limit plate 21 to slide radially synchronously. Preferably, there are a plurality of accommodating cavities 27 in the detection platform 2. The connecting rod 24 is slidingly provided in the accommodating cavities 27. A spring is provided in the accommodating cavities 27. One end of the spring abuts against the connecting rod 24. The spring is suitable for pushing the connecting rod 24 so that the linkage plate 23 and the limit plate 21 move horizontally synchronously toward the axial direction of the detection platform 2. The linkage plate 23 is located below the lifting plate 3. When the lifting plate 3 moves downward, the lifting plate 3 squeezes the linkage plate 23 to slide outward. The linkage plate 23 drives the limit plate 21 to slide outward synchronously through the connecting rod 24. The limit plate 21 is provided with an oil delivery hole 25 along its length, the oil inlet of the oil delivery hole 25 being located on the surface of the limit plate 21; the oiling sponge 22 is connected to the oil delivery hole 25; an oil storage chamber 26 is provided within the testing platform 2, the oil outlet of the oil storage chamber 26 being aligned with the oil inlet of the oil delivery hole 25; when the limit plate 21 is retracted into the testing platform 2, the oil outlet of the oil storage chamber 26 is connected to the oil inlet of the oil delivery hole 25, and the grease in the oil storage chamber 26 flows through the oil delivery hole 25 to the oiling sponge 22. When the limit plate 21 slides radially inward against the limiting flange 5, the limit plate 21 is adapted to seal the oil outlet of the oil storage chamber 26.

[0082] Refer again to the attached Figure 3To prevent the detection cylinder 41 from separating from the support plate 20 when moving upward, the detection member 4 further includes a lower limit ring 46 fixed to the lower end of the detection cylinder 41. The outer diameter of the lower limit ring 46 is larger than the outer diameter of the detection cylinder 41. The vertical distance between the bottom wall of the limit plate 21 and the support plate 20 is no greater than the thickness of the flange 5. When the flange 5 is horizontally positioned on the surface of the support plate 20, each limit plate 21 slides radially inward until the bottom wall abuts the surface of the flange 5.

[0083] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the lifting and lowering movement of the detection cylinder 41, a through hole is opened on the support plate 20, and the diameter of the through hole is consistent with the outer diameter of the detection cylinder 41. When the detection cylinder 41 is lifted and lowered, the outer wall of the detection cylinder 41 is always aligned with the inner wall of the through hole to ensure that the detection cylinder 41 always ensures vertical lifting and lowering movement.

[0084] Here’s how it works:

[0085] Reference Attachment Figure 4 The flange 5 is placed horizontally on the supporting plate 20, and the fixing hole 50 is matched with the detection part 4. At this time, the surface of the flange 5 is in contact with the bottom wall of the limit plate 21. The limit plate 21 can prevent the flange 5 from moving upward relative to the supporting plate 20 when the fixing hole 50 is detected. At this time, the surface of the upper limit ring 43 is coplanar with the surface of the supporting plate 20.

[0086] Reference Attachment Figure 5 The driving column 42 drives the positioning plate 44 to move upward until the positioning plate 44 abuts against the bottom wall of the upper limit ring 43. The positioning plate 44 drives the detection cylinder 41 to move upward synchronously. The upper limit ring 43 moves upward along the inner wall of the fixing hole 50 to detect whether the inner diameter of the fixing hole 50 is qualified. If the inner diameter of the fixing hole 50 is qualified, the upper limit ring 43 moves upward until the boss 45 abuts against the oiling cotton 22. The grease in the oiling cotton 22 flows to the upper limit ring 43 through the boss 45.

[0087] After the detection is completed, the driving column 42 moves downward, and the detection cylinder 41 moves downward along the inner wall of the fixing hole 50 . During the downward movement, the upper limit ring 43 applies grease to the inner wall of the fixing hole 50 .

[0088] At least one embodiment provides a method for detecting a flange detection device, the method comprising:

[0089] When the lifting plate 3 moves downward, each limit plate 21 slides radially outward synchronously until the flange 5 is located on the supporting plate 20;

[0090] The lifting plate 3 drives each detection member 4 to be inserted into the corresponding fixing hole 50, and the detection member 4 moves axially along the fixing hole 50 to detect whether the hole diameter of the fixing hole 50 and the hole distance between adjacent fixing holes 50 are qualified;

[0091] The detection member 4 moves upward until it contacts the limiting plate 21 , squeezing the oiling cotton 22 on the bottom wall of the limiting plate 21 . When the detection member 4 moves downward, grease is applied to the inner wall of the fixing hole 50 .
