[0011] The technical effects and advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0012] 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 The portable rebar flaw detector for building safety inspections shown here utilizes a wrapped detection assembly mounted on a base 1. Through a ring-shaped detection plate 7 and an articulated linkage rod 9, the elastic reset mechanism of a spring 10 ensures that the sliding ball 11 on the detection plate 7 adheres tightly to the rebar surface, adapting to varying diameters. A camera module 8 simultaneously captures images around the rebar, completely eliminating the missed detection issues associated with traditional linear scanning and improving the detection rate of cracks and corrosion. The detailed assembly structure is as follows:
[0027] The package inspection assembly includes two slides 2 mounted on a base 1. A clamping plate 3 is provided on the top of each slide 2. One end of each clamping plate 3 is slidably connected to a limiting cylinder 4. A conveyor belt 5 is provided on the end of the limiting cylinder 4 away from the clamping plate 3. An industrial camera 6 is provided at the bottom of the conveyor belt 5.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIG7 , by adjusting the positions of the two slides 2, the function of adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 3 is realized, so that workpieces of different sizes pass through the limiting cylinder 4 and extend into the clamping plates 3. At the same time, the workpieces are first transported by the conveyor belt 5, and the industrial camera 6 takes pictures and detects the workpieces.
[0029] Several detection plates 7 are distributed in the limiting cylinder 4, and each detection plate 7 is provided with a shooting module 8 for shooting detection. One end of each of the detection plates 7 is hinged with a linkage rod 9, and both sides of each linkage rod 9 are provided with a spring 10, and one end of each spring 10 extends to the corresponding detection plate 7;
[0030] As attached Figure 3 、 4 As shown in 6, the detection plates 7 are distributed along the axial circumference of the limiting cylinder 4 so that when the workpiece is inserted into the limiting cylinder 4, each detection plate 7 can be wrapped around the outside of the workpiece, and the shooting module 8 can perform wrapped shooting detection on the workpiece. At the same time, the detection plate 7 is hinged to the linkage rod 9 so that when the linkage rod 9 is deflected, the detection plate 7 contacts the workpiece. The detection plate 7 can be adjusted in angle at the end of the linkage rod 9 to ensure the shooting detection accuracy of the shooting module 8. At the same time, when the detection plate 7 is deflected, the spring 10 can be subjected to force, and the spring 10 is reset by its own elasticity so that the detection plate 7 can fit tightly with the workpiece.
[0031] A plurality of sliding balls 11 are rotatably connected to the plurality of detection plates 7. A mounting plate 12 is provided in the middle of the limit cylinder 4. A plurality of electric push rods 15 are provided on the mounting plate 12. A support ring 14 is provided at the output end of each electric push rod 15. Figure 3 、 4 As shown in Figure 6, the electric push rod 15 drives the support ring 14 to move, so as to adjust the deflection angle of the linkage rod 9. The setting of the sliding ball 11 facilitates that when the detection plate 7 abuts against the outside of the workpiece, there can still be a certain gap between the detection plate 7 and the workpiece, so that when the detection plate 7 abuts against the outside of the workpiece, the sliding ball 11 first contacts the workpiece, and the detection plate 7 deflects on the linkage rod 9 and can be perpendicular to the workpiece.
[0032] One end of the linkage rod 9 is hinged with a hinge rod 13, which is located at the top of the support ring 14 and is hinged to the support ring 14. The bottom end of the linkage rod 9 is hinged with a hinge seat 18, which is fixed on the mounting plate 12. Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the electric push rod 15 drives the support ring 14 to move, and then the hinged rod 13 can drive the linkage rod 9 to deflect along the axis point where the linkage rod 9 is connected to the hinge seat 18, so that when the linkage rod 9 deflects, the detection plate 7 is driven to move and wrap around the outside of the workpiece;
[0033] A first gear 16 is installed on the side of the mounting plate 12 away from the detection plate 7. A second gear 17 is provided on the outside of the first gear 16. The second gear 17 extends to the surface of the limiting cylinder 4. A motor 19 is provided on the outside of the limiting cylinder 4 for driving the second gear 17 to rotate. The second gear 17 is meshed with the first gear 16. Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the second gear 17 is driven to rotate by the motor 19, and the second gear 17 drives the first gear 16 to rotate. When the first gear 16 rotates, it drives the various structures on the mounting plate 12 to rotate along the axial direction of the limiting cylinder 4, so that the detection plate 7 rotates around the workpiece, realizing the function of surround detection of the workpiece.
[0034] Two first electric slide rails 20 are provided on one side of the conveyor belt 5, and each first electric slide rail 20 is provided with a calibration rod 21 that can be adjusted up and down;
[0035] As attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown, with the first electric slide rail 20 as a support point, the position of each calibration rod 21 is adjusted by each first electric slide rail 20, so that the two sliding balls 11 can be respectively located at one end of the conveyor belt 5 and the top of the conveyor belt 5, so that the workpiece can pass between the two calibration rods 21 and the position of the workpiece is detected by the calibration rod 21.
[0036] A second electric slide rail 22 is provided on one side of the limiting cylinder 4. The second electric slide rail 22 is mounted on the base 1 by bolts. A displacement sensor head 23 that can be adjusted up and down is provided on the second electric slide rail 22.
[0037] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the second electric slide rail 22 drives the displacement sensing head 23 to move, and the displacement sensing head 23 detects whether the workpiece is in the same axial direction as the limiting cylinder 4 when it is inserted into the limiting cylinder 4, so as to facilitate the first electric slide rail 20 to drive the calibration rod 21 to move up and down to adjust the position of the workpiece, ensure that the workpiece and the limiting cylinder 4 are in the same axial direction, and ensure the accuracy of workpiece detection.
[0038] The two splints 3 are provided with a docking sleeve 24 at one end away from the limiting cylinder 4, and each docking sleeve 24 is provided with a blocking wheel 25. The two docking sleeves 24 are plugged together, and the blocking wheel 25 is fixed to the outside of the docking sleeve 24.
[0039] As attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIG7 , the two docking sleeves 24 are plugged together, so that when the splint 3 moves toward each other, the two docking sleeves 24 and the blocking wheel 25 can form a cavity to support the workpiece, prevent the workpiece from falling, and ensure the stability of the workpiece during transportation.
[0040] The two slides 2 are slidably connected to the base 1, and the bottom of each slide 2 is threadedly connected to a forward and reverse screw rod 26, which is rotatably connected to the base 1;
[0041] As attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIG7 , by rotating the forward and reverse screw rods 26 , the two slides 2 can be displaced toward each other on the base 1 , so as to adjust the positions of the slides 2 and the clamping plate 3 .
[0042] The specific working principle is as follows: the steel bars are transported to the equipment entrance by the conveyor belt 5, and the industrial camera 6 takes a preliminary picture of the steel bar surface to identify whether there are obvious defects; at the same time, the first electric slide rail 20 drives the calibration rod 21 to move up and down, calibrates the conveying trajectory of the steel bars, and ensures that it moves along the axial direction of the limit cylinder 4. The displacement sensor head 23 is adjusted up and down by the second electric slide rail 22 to detect the coaxiality of the steel bars when inserted into the limit cylinder in real time. If an offset occurs, it can be automatically fed back to the first electric slide rail 20 through the PLC system, and the steel bar position can be fine-tuned through the calibration rod 21 to ensure the accuracy of subsequent detection.
[0043] Rotate the forward and reverse screw rods 26 to drive the two slides 2 to slide towards each other on the base 1, and adjust the spacing between the splints 3 to adapt to the diameter of the steel bars; the docking sleeve 24 at one end of the splint 3 is plugged into the blocking wheel 25 to form a supporting structure to prevent the steel bars from falling.
[0044] After the rebar enters the retaining cylinder 4, the electric push rod 15 pushes the support ring 14 axially, which, through the hinge rod 13, drives the linkage rod 9 to deflect around the hinge seat 18, causing the detection plate 7 to wrap around the outside of the rebar. At this point, the sliding ball 11 on the detection plate 7 first contacts the surface of the rebar. The detection plate 7 can be adjusted at the end of the linkage rod 9, and the elastic return of the springs 10 on both sides ensures that the camera module 8 is perpendicular to the surface of the rebar.
[0045] The motor 19 drives the second gear 17 to rotate, and drives the mounting plate 12 to rotate through the meshing first gear 16, so that the detection plate 7 and the shooting module 8 perform a circular rotation scan around the axial direction of the steel bar, and synchronously collect the image data of the circumference of the steel bar.
[0046] The conveyor belt 5 continuously transports steel bars, and the industrial camera 6 and the shooting module 8 work together: the industrial camera 6 is responsible for the preliminary detection of macro defects on the surface of the steel bars, and the shooting module 8 captures micro defects such as fine cracks and rust through wrap-around close shooting. The data is transmitted to the equipment terminal in real time for analysis.
[0047] During the entire detection process, the electric push rod 15 can automatically adjust the displacement of the support ring 14 according to the diameter of the steel bar. The linkage mechanism of the linkage rod 9 and the spring 10 ensures that the detection plate 7 always fits the steel bar without manual intervention. It can not only adapt to workpieces of different sizes but also detect steel bars with different curvatures. The angle adaptive adjustment function of the detection plate 7 can ensure the detection coverage.
[0048] After the detection is completed, the forward and reverse screw rods 26 rotate in the opposite direction to reset the slide 2, and the detection plate 7 in the limit cylinder 4 is automatically opened under the action of the spring 10, which facilitates the unloading of steel bars and realizes continuous detection operations.
[0049] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
