Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mold production, and in particular to a vision-based appearance detection component and method for mold production. Background Art
[0002] In the field of mold production, appearance inspection is a key link in ensuring product quality. For example, in the field of automobile manufacturing, brake discs are manufactured by casting molds. However, different brake discs have different mold sizes, mounting shaft holes, bolt hole diameters, and evenly spaced heat dissipation holes. Traditional mold appearance inspection methods have the following significant drawbacks: Inadequate inspection accuracy. Relying on manual visual inspection or simple mechanical measurement, it is difficult to accurately determine subtle dimensional deviations in molds, such as hole diameter, wall thickness, and contour. This is especially true for complex curved molds, such as brake discs, where quantitative analysis of hole projection overlap is impossible. Poor clamping stability: Traditional clamping structures mostly use a fixed slot design, which cannot adapt to the centering fixation of molds of different specifications. It is also difficult to drive the mold to rotate for comprehensive inspection, resulting in a limited inspection range and an inability to cover all circumferential appearance defects.

[0011] Preferably, the second irradiation lamp is used to detect the outer diameter and thickness of the brake disc mold.
[0012] A vision-based appearance inspection method for mold production includes the following steps: Step 1: Open the main box by flipping the cover with the handle; Step 2: Place the actual sample or corresponding mold of the correct specifications on the first clamping structure for centering and fixing; Step 3: Place the brake disc mold to be tested on the second clamping structure and clamp it in the center; Step 4: According to the diameter of the brake disc mold to be tested, the first electric slide rail in the first detection structure is driven to adjust the position of the first irradiation lamp, and the first motor is used to drive the rotation to achieve omnidirectional irradiation; Step 5: Use the first irradiation lamp to illuminate the brake disc mold under test downwards, so that the appearance of the brake disc mold and the corresponding installation holes and heat dissipation holes can be projected onto the actual sample, and the second camera is used to perform imaging judgment; Step 6, i.e., in step 5, the hole positions are projected with light, and the rotation of the clamping roller can be used to adjust the tested sample or the qualified sample to cause the corresponding hole positions to overlap.

Since the brake disc is a disc or a convex disc, a rectangular shadow or a convex shadow will be formed on the rear wall of the main box after projection from the front to the rear. The size can then be directly determined by imaging. Alternatively, a projection template of the corresponding size can be fixed on the rear wall of the main box for comparison testing.
[0013] The present invention proposes a vision-based appearance inspection component and method for mold production. Compared with traditional manual or contact-based appearance and aperture measurement, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Dual detection structure linkage: The first detection structure projects downwards through the first irradiation lamp, projecting features such as the mounting holes and heat dissipation holes of the tested mold onto a qualified sample, and uses the second camera to capture the interlaced projections. The second detection structure projects backwards through the second irradiation lamp, forming a mold outline shadow on the rear wall of the main box to determine the diameter and thickness of the brake disc mold. By using the equidistant holes set on the brake disc, the dynamic projection overlap method is used for testing while the mold rotates, which can quickly locate circumferentially distributed defects, improving efficiency compared to traditional static inspection. 2. Closed light environment design completely eliminates external light interference: The main box and cover are closed: The cover of the second detection structure is buckled with the main box through hinges to form a fully enclosed detection space, ensuring stable camera imaging clarity and avoiding misjudgment due to changes in ambient light. The first irradiation lamp cooperates with the electric slide rail to adjust the irradiation angle and position, so that the projection edge sharpness is improved and feature recognition is more accurate. The distance between the light source and the measured part is used to adjust the size of the projection, further matching molds of different sizes.
[0014] 3. Adaptive clamping and rotation inspection, covering the full circumferential appearance: Dual-axis width and distance adjustable clamping, the first clamping component drives the clamping arm to move through the width and distance adjustable slides, which can adaptively clamp the brake disc mold with different diameters; the clamping roller at the end of the clamping arm is driven by the second motor, which can drive the mold to rotate, realizing 360-degree full circumferential appearance inspection.
[0015] 4. Strong applicability: The upper and lower symmetrical first clamping structure and second clamping structure ensure that the mold to be tested and the sample mold are on the same optical axis, with a unified projection comparison benchmark. Moreover, projection detection and comparison can be performed by simply placing the sample and the mold to be tested separately. The display screen and controller on the cover integrate the detection process control and imaging analysis system, supporting one-button start of detection, defect marking and data storage, reducing manual operation errors. The clamping arm, width adjustment slide and other components of the modular clamping assembly adopt a standardized interface design, which can be adapted to a variety of brake disc molds such as disc and drum types.

[0030] As a preferred solution, further, the second illumination lamp 47 is used to detect the outer diameter and thickness of the brake disc mold.
[0031] The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process. The specific operations are as follows.
[0032] Step 1: Place the device horizontally in the main box 1. After powering on the device, flip the cover 41 in the second detection structure 4 by lifting the handle, so that the cover 41 flips open the main box 1 with the help of the hinge 2. Step 2: Place the actual sample mold 7 of the correct specifications on the first clamping structure 5 for centering and fixing, and place the test sample on the second clamping structure 6 for fixing. That is, the actual sample is fixed by the first clamping assembly 51, and the test sample is fixed by the second clamping assembly 63. When placing the sample, the width adjustment rail 511 can be driven to adjust the left and right spacing of the clamping according to the size of the sample. The front and rear spacing of the clamping arms 513 can be adjusted by the distance adjustment rail 512. Then the disc-shaped mold is placed between the other ends of the clamping arms 513 and clamped and limited by the clamping roller 515. If the mold is convex, the smaller diameter end is placed upwards. Step 3: According to the diameter of the brake disc mold to be tested, the first electric slide 34 in the first detection structure 3 is driven to adjust the position of the first irradiation lamp 35, and the first motor 33 on the machine plate 32 is driven to drive the first driving slide to rotate, so that the first irradiation lamp 35 rotates along the central axis of the machine plate 32, so that molds with different diameters can be fully irradiated, that is, the entire aperture is illuminated. Alternatively, when the first irradiation lamp 35 is stationary, the second motor 514 is started to drive the clamping roller 515 to rotate, and the clamping roller 515 drives the mold to rotate to achieve the hole position replacement test; Step 4: Use the first irradiation lamp 35 to illuminate the brake disc mold under test downwards. The appearance of the brake disc mold and the corresponding installation holes and heat dissipation holes can be projected onto the actual sample. The second camera 53 on the bracket 52 is used to perform imaging judgment and the image is projected on the display screen 42 for display. The height of the first irradiation lamp 35 can also be adjusted by driving the first hydraulic cylinder 31 through the controller 43. The height change of the first irradiation lamp 35 relative to the mold can change the size of the image after the light passes through the aperture. The same mold can be used to test molds with larger apertures. The same principle is used, that is, the height of the second clamping assembly 63 on the adapter arm 62 is adjusted by using the second hydraulic cylinder 61, that is, the height of the mold under test is adjusted by the second hydraulic cylinder 61. Step 5, i.e., in step 4, the hole positions are projected with light, and the rotation of the clamping roller 515 is used to adjust the tested sample or the qualified sample so that the corresponding hole positions overlap. When the hole positions overlap, if there is a difference in hole diameter, the projections will appear staggered, and then the image can be used to determine whether the product mold is qualified; Step six, with the same principle as in step five, with the help of the second irradiation lamp 47 in the second detection structure 4, the mold to be tested is projected on the inner rear wall of the main box 1. Since the brake disc is a disc or a convex disc, after irradiation and projection from the front to the rear, a rectangular shadow or a convex shadow will be formed on the inner rear wall of the main box 1. Then the size can be directly determined by imaging. For molds of different thicknesses, the height position of the second irradiation lamp 47 on the base 46 can be adjusted with the help of the second electric slide 45, so that the second irradiation lamp 47 can be tested at the same horizontal plane as the object to be tested. The projection template of the corresponding size can also be fixed on the inner rear wall of the main box 1 for comparison testing.
[0033] In summary, the design of this technical solution is also applicable to the detection of other parts, as shown below: Compatibility with multiple types of parts, with an improved adaptability range: Through the combined adjustment of the width-adjusting slide rail 511 and the distance-adjusting slide rail 512, the clamping arm 513 can adapt to the measurement of circular parts such as bearings and rings with different diameters, as well as rod-type parts with different cross-sectional diameters; the inner diameter, outer diameter and other data of the ring can be detected through imaging.
[0034] Highly adaptive detection: The first hydraulic cylinder 31 and the second electric slide 45 can adjust the vertical distance between the first and second irradiation lamps 47 respectively to adapt to the detection requirements of parts with different thicknesses.
[0035] Non-contact measurement avoids part damage: Using downward projection from the first illumination lamp 35 or backward projection from the second illumination lamp 47, diameter, aperture, and contour measurements can be performed without physical contact with the part surface. This eliminates the plating scratches often associated with traditional caliper measurement on bearings and rods with precision coatings, making it particularly suitable for high-precision aerospace parts.
[0036] Multi-parameter simultaneous detection improves efficiency: For complex parts such as bearings, the first detection structure 3 can be activated to project the hole position and the second detection structure 4 can be activated to project the outer diameter at the same time, completing the detection of multiple parameters such as the inner diameter, outer diameter, and hole position offset in one imaging.
[0037] Dynamic rotation detection: When the clamping roller 515 drives the part to rotate, the first camera 48 and the second camera 53 capture 360-degree projection images in real time, automatically identifying circumferentially distributed defects (such as the spiral pattern of the rod and the eccentricity of the ring), saving work hours compared to traditional static detection.

9. A method for visual inspection of mold production, which is applied to the visual inspection component for mold production as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: Open the main box (1) by flipping the cover (41) by the handle; Step 2: Place the actual sample or corresponding mold of the correct specifications on the first clamping structure (5) for centering and clamping; Step 3: Place the brake disc mold to be tested on the second clamping structure (6) and clamp it in the center; Step 4: According to the diameter of the brake disc mold to be tested, the first electric slide rail (34) in the first detection structure (3) is driven to adjust the position of the first irradiation lamp (35), and the first motor (33) is used to drive the rotation to achieve all-round irradiation; Step 5: Using the first irradiation lamp (35) to illuminate the brake disc mold to be tested downward, the appearance of the brake disc mold and the corresponding installation hole positions and heat dissipation hole positions can be projected onto the actual sample, and imaging judgment is performed with the help of the second camera (53); Step 6, i.e., in step 5, by means of light projection, the tested sample or qualified sample can be adjusted by means of the rotation of the clamping roller (515) to cause the corresponding hole positions to overlap. When the hole positions overlap, if there is a difference in the hole diameter, the projection will be staggered, and then the image can be used to determine whether the product mold is qualified; Step 7. Using the same principle as in step 6, the second irradiation lamp (47) in the second detection structure (4) is used to illuminate backwards and project the mold to be tested onto the inner rear side wall of the main box (1). Since the brake disc is a disc or a convex disc, a rectangular shadow or a convex shadow will be formed on the inner rear side wall of the main box (1) after illumination and projection from the front to the rear. The size can then be directly determined by imaging. Alternatively, a projection template of the corresponding size can be fixed on the inner rear side wall of the main box (1) for comparison testing.
