Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detection facilities, and in particular to a device for detecting the opening of a frying pan. Background Art
[0002] A frying pan is a utensil used for cooking or frying food, typically with a diameter of 20 to 30 cm. It is often made of lightweight metals such as aluminum or stainless steel.

The contact of the displacement sensor 25 corresponds to the middle of the inner surface of the resistance ring 5. When the contact moves, the change of the resistance value will be converted into a change of the output voltage. The displacement can be calculated by measuring the voltage. A detection baseline 27 is set on the upper part of the inner surface of the resistance ring 5. The detection baseline 27 can be used as a reference line for comparison with the detected outline. The progress curve can be obtained on the computer side, and then it can be seen whether the pan mouth is regular. An assembly is provided between the resistance ring 5 and the rod seat 8, and a pot fixing part is installed on the upper front end of the base 1.
[0025] A fixing frame 12 is fixedly installed on the rear upper end of the base 1, and a threaded rod 37 is rotatably installed on the middle part of the front end of the fixing frame 12. The fixing frame 12 carries the threaded rod 37 and the guide rod 19. The lifting platform 10 is screwed to the outer surface of the threaded rod 37, and the threaded rod 37 drives the lifting platform 10 to move up and down. Guide rods 19 are provided on both sides of the threaded rod 37. The two ends of the guide rod 19 are fixed to the fixing frame 12. The lifting platform 10 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide rod 19, and the guide rod 19 guides the lifting platform 10.

The two ends of the assembly pin 17 pass through the two sides of the shell 15. The shell 15 slides with the assembly pin 17, and one end of the assembly pin 17 is engaged with the other end of the assembly pin 17. The end passes through between the rod seat 8 and the fixed ring frame 14, and the assembly pin 17 plays the role of assembling the rod seat 8 and the fixed ring frame 14 together.

[0030] The pot fixing part includes a detection table 2 fixedly mounted on the front upper end of the base 1. The detection table 2 serves to support the frying pan. Two positioning rings 3 are symmetrically extended from the upper end of the detection table 2. The center line of the positioning ring 3 is collinear with the center line of the shaft 6. The positioning ring 3 can position the frying pan so that the center of the frying pan can correspond to the shaft 6. A threaded column 34 is installed at the lower end of the detection table 2. The threads at both ends of the threaded column 34 are symmetrically arranged, which can drive the two threaded sleeves 7 to move synchronously toward each other.

[0031] The outer surface of the threaded column 34 is rotatably mounted with a protruding ear 36, and the end of the protruding ear 36 is fixed to the testing platform 2. The protruding ear 36 serves to support the threaded column 34, and a guide frame 35 is extended from the side of the protruding ear 36. The lower end of the threaded sleeve 7 is extended with a concave slide 33, and the concave slide 33 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the guide frame 35. The guide frame 35 and the concave slide 33 serve to guide the threaded sleeve 7. One end of the threaded column 34 is coaxially inlaid with a gear 32, and the rear portion of the gear 32 is engaged with a toothed plate 31. The gear 32 and the toothed plate 31 serve to allow the threaded column 34 to rotate.

[0032] During the inspection, the pan is first placed between the two positioning rings 3 on the inspection platform 2 to be positioned so that the center of the pan can correspond to the shaft 6. Then, the second servo motor 11 is driven to rotate the threaded rod 37, so that the lifting platform 10 screwed on the threaded rod 37 moves downward, and the lifting platform 10 moves downward to drive the inspection wheel 30 to press on the pot mouth of the pan. At this time, the compression spring 28 contracts and deforms. In this process, the lifting platform 10 that moves downward will also synchronously drive the toothed plate 31 on the push plate frame 13 to move downward, thereby driving the gear 32 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded column 34 to rotate, so that the two threaded sleeves 7 move toward each other under the action of the symmetrical arrangement of the threads at both ends of the threaded column 34, thereby driving the two clamping rings 4 The two wheels move toward each other to clamp and fix the positioned frying pan by themselves, and then the No. 1 servo motor 9 drives the extension frame 20 on the shaft 6 to rotate in a circle, so that the detection wheel 30 can roll along the pot mouth of the frying pan. During this process, the displacement sensor 25 moves synchronously with the detection wheel 30 to transmit the contour of the pot mouth of the frying pan to the resistance ring 5. At this time, by observing whether the contours of the transmitted travel curve are parallel to the detection baseline 27, it can be concluded whether the pot mouth of the frying pan is regular. At the same time, the assembly pin 17 can be directly pulled to disengage the assembly pin 17 from between the fixed ring frame 14 and the rod seat 8, and then the fixed ring frame 14 can be directly pulled to disengage it from the corner groove 22, so that the resistance ring 5 can be disassembled for easy maintenance and for use next time.
