Technical Field

[0033] This embodiment discloses a detection device 10, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection device 10 includes: a base 11, a to-be-detected area 111 is provided on the base 11, and a positioning end surface 112 is defined in the horizontal direction of the to-be-detected area 111;
[0034] A detection mechanism is fixed on the base 11, and the detection mechanism includes a detection unit 12 and a driving unit 13 that drives the detection unit 12 to move in a vertical direction; the detection unit 12 is located above the area to be detected 111, and the detection unit 12 has an abutment member 122, a first detection head 1231, and a second detection head 1241. A first ball track probe 1221 and a second ball track probe 1222 are provided at the bottom of the abutment member 122, and the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 are symmetrically arranged along the second direction, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 can be relatively far away from or close to the abutment member 122, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 are both located above the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222;
[0035] The first distance between the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 is greater than or equal to the second distance between the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 .
[0036] In this embodiment, a detection device 10 is provided. The detection device 10 includes a base 11, on which an area to be detected 111 is provided. A detection mechanism is detachably connected to the area to be detected 111. The detection mechanism includes a detection unit 12 and a drive unit 13 that drives the detection unit 12 to move in a vertical direction, so that the drive unit 13 drives the detection unit 12 to move in a vertical direction toward or away from the side of the area to be detected 111. The detection unit 12 includes an abutment 122, a first detection head 1231, and a second detection head 1241. The first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 can both move relatively away from or toward the side of the abutment 122. In the present application, a first ball track probe 1221 and a second ball track probe 1222 are further provided at the bottom of the abutment member 122, such that the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 are symmetrically arranged along a first direction, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 are symmetrically arranged along a second direction. In the present application, the first direction and the second direction are preferably arranged parallel to the direction of the horizontal plane, and the first direction and the second direction can be the same or different.
[0037] Specifically, first detection head 1231 and second detection head 1241 are both located above first ball track probe 1221 and second ball track probe 1222, and a first distance between first detection head 1231 and second detection head 1241 is greater than or equal to a second distance between first ball track probe 1221 and second ball track probe 1222. First ball track probe 1221 and second ball track probe 1222 are detachably fixedly connected to abutment member 122, and the second distance between first ball track probe 1221 and second ball track probe 1222 is a fixed value. Because first detection head 1231 and second detection head 1241 are movable relative to the side of abutment member 122 in the second direction, the center distance between first detection head 1231 and second detection head 1241 is a variable value. In the present application, the first distance between the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 is the effective detection distance, that is, the effective moving distance between the outermost sides of the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 when they move relative to each other.
[0038] Specifically, the present application utilizes a method of setting a to-be-detected area 111 on the base 11, so that the detection unit 12 of the detection mechanism is located above the to-be-detected area 111, and the detection unit 12 is driven by the driving unit 13 to move upward in the vertical direction, so that the workpiece (i.e., the bell-shaped shell) can be placed in the to-be-detected area 111; wherein, the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 of the detection unit 12 are arranged at the bottom of the abutment 122, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 can be relatively moved away from or close to the abutment 122, and cooperate with the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 to place the workpiece into the to-be-detected area 111. In the detection area 111, by driving the detection unit 12 into the accommodating groove of the workpiece, the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 are in contact with the arc part, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 are in contact with the straight part. The change in the size of the center distance of the two detection heads in contact with the straight part is used to determine the mathematical function relationship between the measurement value and the radius of the two ball track probes and the radius of the two detection heads, so as to quickly realize the center height of the connection position of the straight part and the arc part in the inner end face of the bell shell. At the same time, it is also possible to measure non-complete spherical workpieces with different inner diameters and shapes, thereby improving the versatility of use of the detection device 10.
[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece is placed on the area to be inspected 111, and the workpiece has a receiving groove. The receiving groove is arranged opposite to the inspection unit 12, and the inner surface of the receiving groove has a straight portion and an arc portion. The straight portion is located above the arc portion, and the connection between the straight portion and the arc portion is smoothly transitioned. The height H between the connection between the straight portion and the arc portion and the positioning end surface 112 is in the range of: H = H1-H2+H3;
[0040] Wherein, H1 is the height from the center of the first ball track probe 1221 to the positioning end surface 112 when the detection unit 12 rises to the highest point;
[0041] H2 is the moving distance when the detection unit 12 descends to the lowest point. At this time, the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 abut against the arc portion, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 abut against the straight portion.
[0042] H3 is the height between the connection of the straight portion and the arc portion and the center of the ball probe, and H3 is obtained by the center distance M1 of the first ball probe 1221 and the second ball probe 1222 and the center distance M2 of the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 through the first rule.
[0043] Furthermore, the first rule is: ; Wherein, R1 is the radius of the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 , and R2 is the radius of the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 .
[0044] Furthermore, the detection mechanism further includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is used to measure the distance moved in the vertical direction by the first ball track probe 1221 , and the second sensor is used to measure the distance between the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 .
[0045] In this embodiment, the workpiece can be placed in the area to be inspected 111, and the detection unit 12 can be driven to extend into the accommodating groove of the workpiece, so that the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 are in contact with the arc portion. At this time, the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 are in contact with the straight portion. The center distance M2 value between the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 at this moment can be obtained by the set sensor, and the values of H1 and H2 can be obtained. The above calculation formula can be used to quickly calculate the H3 value, and finally the value of the height H between the connection between the straight portion and the arc portion and the positioning end face 112 can be obtained. In the present application, since the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 are symmetrically arranged along the first direction, the radii of the two ball track probes are equal; the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 are symmetrically arranged along the second direction, that is, the radii of the two detection heads are also equal; in the present application, it is preferred that the radius of the first detection head 1231 is also equal to the radius of the first ball track probe 1221, that is, the calculation formula of H3 can be simplified to .
[0046] In some embodiments, the detection unit 12 also includes a positioning block 121, a first measuring piece 123 and a second measuring piece 124, the abutment 122 is connected to the bottom of the positioning block 121, the first end of the first measuring piece 123 and the first end of the second measuring piece 124 are both movably connected to the positioning block 121, the second end of the first measuring piece 123 and the second end of the second measuring piece 124 are both extended downward, and the first measuring piece 123 and the second measuring piece 124 are respectively located on opposite sides of the abutment 122 along the second direction, and the first measuring piece 123 and the second measuring piece 124 are respectively used to drive the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 so that they can be relatively far away from or close to the abutment 122.
[0047] Furthermore, the abutment member 122 includes a main body portion A, which is connected to the bottom of the positioning block 121, and a first extension portion B1 and a second extension portion B2 are respectively extended on opposite sides of the bottom end of the main body portion A along the first direction. The first ball probe 1221 is arranged on the first extension portion B1 and is arranged away from one end of the side where the main body portion A is located, and the second ball probe 1222 is arranged on the second extension portion B2 and is arranged away from one end of the side where the main body portion A is located.
[0048] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the two first detection heads 1231 and the second detection heads 1241 can move freely relative to the main body A of the abutment member 122 during the movement process. At the same time, the abutment member 122 is set to a special structure of the main body A and the first extension part B1 and the second extension part B2, which can enable the first measuring member 123 to drive the first detection head 1231 to move freely in the space formed between the main body A and the first extension part B1, and at the same time enable the second measuring member 124 to drive the second detection head 1241 to move freely in the space formed between the main body A and the second extension part B2, thereby reasonably arranging the use space of the detection unit 12.
[0049] In some embodiments, a first limiting portion C1 is provided on the top of the end of the first extension portion B1 located away from the main body portion A and extends outwardly. The first limiting portion C1 forms a first limiting channel along the second direction. A first limiting step is formed at the end of the first limiting channel away from the main body portion A. The first detection head 1231 is movably disposed in the first limiting channel. The first limiting step is used to limit the displacement of the first detection head 1231 along the second direction.
[0050] The first measuring member 123 drives the first detection head 1231 to move toward the side where the first limiting step is located, so that a portion of the first detection head 1231 is exposed outside the first limiting channel.
[0051] Furthermore, the first measuring member 123 includes a first main body E1 and a first contact portion E2. The top of the first main body E1 is hinged to the positioning block 121. The first contact portion E2 extends along the second direction from the bottom of the first main body E1 toward an end away from the main body A. The first contact portion E2 contacts the first detection head 1231.
[0052] The detection unit 12 also includes a first telescopic operating rod 125 and a first elastic member, one end of the first elastic member is connected to the main body A, and the other end of the first elastic member abuts against the first main body E1 or the first abutting portion E2.

[0053] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned structural setting, by manipulating the movement of the first telescopic operating rod 125, the first main body E1 or the first contact portion E2 is forced to compress the first elastic member, so that the first contact portion E2 of the first measuring member 123 moves toward the end on the side of the first limiting channel away from the first limiting portion C1, thereby enabling the first detection head 1231 to move freely within the first limiting channel, thereby achieving the adjustment of the movable position of the first detection head 1231, so that the distance between the outermost sides of the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 is reduced, so that the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 can be extended into the receiving groove of the workpiece, so that the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 both contact the straight portion of the inner side surface of the receiving groove of the workpiece, thereby achieving equivalent measurement of the diameter located at the straight portion of the inner side surface of the receiving groove of the workpiece. In this application, it is preferred that the other end of the first elastic member contacts the first main body E1.
[0054] In some embodiments, a second limiting portion C2 is provided on the top of the end of the second extension portion B2 located away from the side where the main body portion A is located, extending outwardly. The second limiting portion C2 forms a second limiting channel along the second direction. A second limiting step is formed at the end of the second limiting channel away from the side where the main body portion A is located. The second detection head 1241 is movably disposed in the second limiting channel. The second limiting step is used to limit the displacement of the second detection head 1241 along the second direction.
[0055] The second measuring member 124 drives the second detection head 1241 to move toward the side where the second limiting step is located, so that a portion of the second detection head 1241 is exposed outside the second limiting channel.
[0056] Furthermore, the second measuring member 124 includes a second main body portion E3 and a second abutting portion E4. The top of the second main body portion E3 is hinged to the positioning block 121. The second abutting portion E4 extends along a second direction from the bottom of the second main body portion E3 toward an end away from the main body portion A.

[0057] The detection unit 12 also includes a second telescopic operating rod 126 and a second elastic member, one end of the second elastic member is connected to the main body A, and the other end of the second elastic member abuts against the second main body E3 or the second abutting portion E4. One end of the second telescopic operating rod 126 is fixed on the second main body E3, and the other end of the second telescopic operating rod 126 is exposed outside the positioning block 121.
[0058] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the second telescopic operating rod 126 can be manipulated to move, thereby forcing the second main body E3 or the second resistance part E4 to compress the second elastic member, so that the second resistance part E4 of the second measuring member 124 moves toward the end on the side of the second limiting channel away from the second limiting part C2, so that the second detection head 1241 can move freely within the second limiting channel, thereby adjusting the movable position of the second detection head 1241, so that the distance between the outermost side of the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 is reduced, so that the second detection head 1241 and the first detection head 1231 can be extended into the receiving groove of the workpiece, so that the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 both contact the straight portion of the inner side surface of the receiving groove of the workpiece, thereby achieving equivalent measurement of the diameter located at the straight portion of the inner side surface of the receiving groove of the workpiece. In this application, it is preferred that the other end of the second elastic member contacts the second main body E3.
[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the first detection head 1231 can also be detachably connected to the first resistance portion E2 of the first measuring member 123, and the second detection head 1241 can also be detachably connected to the second resistance portion E4 of the second measuring member 124, but this application is not limited to this.
[0060] In some embodiments, the driving unit 13 includes a column 131, a lifting control rod 132, a first connecting member 133 and a second connecting member 134, the column 131 is connected to the base 11 in the vertical direction, and a slide rail 1311 is formed in the vertical direction at one end of the column 131 facing the side where the detection area 111 is located, and a slider 1211 is connected to the positioning block 121, and the positioning block 121 is movably connected to the slide rail 1311 through the slider 1211; a first fitting portion 1321 is formed in the middle of the lifting control rod 132, and the lifting control rod 132 is hinged to the top of the column 131 through the first fitting portion 1321; one end of the lifting control rod 132 is hinged to one end of the first connecting member 133, the other end of the first connecting member 133 is hinged to one end of the second connecting member 134, and the other end of the second connecting member 134 is connected to the top of the positioning block 121.
[0061] In this embodiment, the drive unit 13 has two columns 131, which are arranged on the base 11 in a vertical direction around the area to be inspected 111. The area to be inspected 111 is fixedly connected to a ball track workbench, so that a workpiece with a non-complete spherical surface can be mounted on the ball track workbench with the side of the workpiece containing the groove facing upward. The two columns 131 are each formed with a slide rail 1311 in the vertical direction at one end facing the area to be inspected 111. Slide blocks 1211 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the positioning block 121, so that the positioning block 121 can be respectively mounted on the two slide rails 1311 via the two slide blocks 1211. A lifting control rod 132 is hingedly connected to one of the columns 131, so that a first fitting portion 1321 formed in the middle of the lifting control rod 132 is movably mounted on the top of the column 131, thereby allowing the lifting control rod 132 to swing vertically relative to the column 131. The end of the lifting lever 132 that faces the side closest to the positioning block 121 is hinged to one end of the first connecting member 133, the other end of the first connecting member 133 is hinged to one end of the second connecting member 134, and the other end of the second connecting member 134 is detachably connected to the top of the positioning block 121. With the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the lifting lever 132 can be swung downward toward the end that faces away from the positioning block 121, so that the lifting lever 132 drives the first connecting member 133 and the second connecting member 134 to swing and move upward, thereby driving the positioning block 121 to move upward in the vertical direction via the slide rail 1311, thereby enabling the driving unit 13 to drive the detection unit 12 to move upward.
[0062] When it is necessary to detect the workpiece, the lifting operating rod 132 can be swung upward toward the end away from the positioning block 121, so that the lifting operating rod 132 drives the first connecting member 133 and the second connecting member 134 to swing and move downward, thereby driving the positioning block 121 to move downward in the vertical direction through the slide rail 1311, thereby realizing that the driving unit 13 drives the detection unit 12 to move downward.
[0063] In summary, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the detection area 111 to be detected is set on the base 11, so that the detection unit 12 of the detection mechanism is located above the detection area 111, and the detection unit 12 is driven by the driving unit 13 to move upward in the vertical direction, so that the workpiece can be placed in the detection area 111; wherein, the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 of the detection unit 12 are set at the bottom of the abutment 122, and the first detection head 1231 and the second detection head 1241 can be relatively moved away from or close to the abutment 122, and cooperate with the first ball track probe 1221 and the second ball track probe 1222 to place the workpiece. In the area to be inspected 111, by driving the inspection unit 12 into the accommodating groove of the workpiece, the first ball probe 1221 and the second ball probe 1222 are in contact with the arc portion, and the first inspection head 1231 and the second inspection head 1241 are in contact with the straight portion. The change in the size of the center distance of the two inspection heads in contact with the straight portion is used to determine the mathematical function relationship between the measurement value and the radius of the two ball probes and the radius of the two inspection heads, so as to quickly realize the center height of the connection position of the straight portion and the arc portion in the inner end face of the bell shell in the distance measurement. At the same time, it is also possible to measure non-complete spherical workpieces with different inner diameters and shapes, thereby improving the versatility of use of the inspection device.
