Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing system technology, and in particular to an extended detection device and processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automated production lines are widely used in manufacturing. These lines often involve significant initial investment and a fixed layout. When new functional modules (such as testing units) are needed, the existing equipment must be dismantled to accommodate them. This leads to long production line downtime, increased labor and material costs, and limits the flexibility and upgrade potential of the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an extended detection device and processing equipment to address the above problems.

[0004] This application provides an extended detection device, which includes a material support assembly, a detection assembly, a handling assembly, and a conveying assembly. The material support assembly is mounted on a production line and includes a support platform and a transfer platform. The transfer platform is movably disposed relative to the support platform to open and cover the receiving area of ​​the production line. The detection assembly is disposed on the support platform. The handling assembly includes a first handling component and a second handling component. The first handling component is used to transfer a workpiece from the production line to the support platform, and the second handling component is used to transfer the workpiece from the support platform to the receiving area or the transfer platform. The conveying assembly is located on the side of the transfer platform away from the support platform and is used to transport the workpiece. The handling assembly further includes a third handling component, which is used to transfer the workpiece at the transfer platform to the conveying assembly.

[0005] In the aforementioned extended detection device, the material support assembly is directly mounted on the production line, while the detection assembly is located on the support platform of the material support assembly. The conveying assembly enables the transfer of workpieces between the material support assembly and the existing production line. Therefore, the combination of these two components allows the existing production line to be extended to include detection functionality without affecting its layout. Furthermore, the material transfer platform of the material support assembly is also mounted on the production line, and its active movement can open and cover the receiving area of ​​the production line. When the second conveying component is aligned with the receiving area, if the receiving area is open, the second conveying component can directly transfer the workpiece to the receiving area, returning it to the production line. If the receiving area is covered by the transfer platform, the second conveying component performs the same action, placing the workpiece on the transfer platform. With this configuration, the second conveying component can place the workpiece in either the receiving area or the transfer platform when performing the same action, achieving workpiece screening and simplifying the movement trajectory and structure of the second conveying component.

[0006] It should be noted that the transfer table has the function of carrying workpieces. It can not only carry workpieces being screened, but also serve as a transfer and replenishment mechanism. As one example, a portion of the workpieces can be buffered at the transfer table. When some workpieces among the multiple workpieces transferred in batches by the second conveying component need to be screened to the transfer table, these workpieces can be placed on the transfer table, and then the same number of workpieces (i.e., the buffered workpieces) can be replenished on the transfer table, so that the production line always transfers the same number of workpieces.

[0007] This application also provides a processing apparatus, which includes a production line and an extended testing device as described above. Attached Figure Description

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0020] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0021] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0023] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a top view of a processing device provided in one embodiment of this application. The processing device 10 provided in one embodiment of this application has a production line 20, which is used to transport workpieces 50 so that the workpieces 50 can move to various processing stations for processing.

[0025] Furthermore, the processing equipment 10 provided in this application may also have an extended detection device 30. The extended detection device 30 can be installed as an extension module on the original production line 20 of the processing equipment 10, so that the processing equipment 10 can be extended to have the function of detecting workpiece 50. When the production line 20 transports the workpiece 50 to the station where the extended detection device 30 is located, the workpiece 50 can be detected and processed by the extended detection device 30.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the extended detection device 30 can be mounted on the production line 20 to enable the processing equipment 10 to have detection functions without changing the original layout of the production line 20.

[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides an extended inspection device 30, which includes a material support assembly 100, an inspection assembly 200, a handling assembly 300, and a conveying assembly 400. The material support assembly 100 is mounted on a production line 20, the inspection assembly 200 is mounted on the material support assembly 100, and the handling assembly 300 is used to transport workpieces 50 from the production line 20 to the material support assembly 100 for inspection by the inspection assembly 200. Furthermore, the handling assembly 300 can also return the workpieces 50 inspected by the inspection assembly 200 to the production line 20, so that the production line 20 can transport the workpieces 50 to the next processing station, achieving continuous transport of the workpieces 50. Further, the handling assembly 300 can also transfer the inspected workpieces 50 to the conveying assembly 400, which transports the workpieces 50 to a destination different from the production line 20. In short, the conveying component 300 can also screen the workpiece 50 to the conveying component 400, thereby achieving the sorting of the workpiece 50.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the material support assembly 100 includes a support platform 110 and a transfer platform 120, with a detection assembly 200 disposed on the support platform 110. The transfer platform 120 is movably disposed relative to the support platform 110 to open and cover the receiving area 21 of the production line 20. The conveying assembly 400 is located on the side of the transfer platform 120 away from the support platform 110 and is used to transport the workpiece 50. The handling assembly 300 includes a first handling component 310, a second handling component 320, and a third handling component 330. The first handling component 310 is used to transfer the workpiece 50 from the production line 20 to the support platform 110, the second handling component 320 is used to transfer the workpiece 50 from the support platform 110 to the receiving area 21 or the transfer platform 120, and the third handling component 330 is used to transfer the workpiece 50 at the transfer platform 120 to the conveying assembly 400.

[0029] In the aforementioned extended detection device 30, the material support assembly 100 is directly mounted on the production line 20, while the detection assembly 200 is located on the support platform 110 of the material support assembly 100. The transport assembly 300 enables the workpiece 50 to be transferred between the material support assembly 100 and the existing production line 20. Therefore, the combination of the two allows the existing production line 20 to be extended to include detection functions without affecting its layout. Furthermore, the transfer platform 120 of the material support assembly 100 is also mounted on the production line 20, and driving the transfer platform 120 to move actively can open and cover the receiving area 21 of the production line 20. When the second conveying component 320 is aligned with the receiving area 21, if the receiving area 21 is open, the second conveying component 320 can directly transfer the workpiece 50 to the receiving area 21, allowing the workpiece 50 to return to the production line 20. If the receiving area 21 is covered by the transfer table 120, the second conveying component 320 performs the same action, placing the workpiece 50 on the transfer table 120. With this configuration, the second conveying component 320 can place the workpiece 50 in either the receiving area 21 or the transfer table 120 when performing the same action, achieving workpiece 50 screening, thereby simplifying the movement trajectory of the second conveying component 320 and simplifying the structure.

[0030] It should be noted that the transfer table 120 has the function of carrying workpieces 50. It can not only carry workpieces 50 being screened, but also serve as a transfer and replenishment mechanism. As one example, some workpieces 50 can be buffered at the transfer table 120. When some workpieces 50 among the multiple workpieces 50 transferred in batches by the second conveying component 320 need to be screened to the transfer table 120, these workpieces 50 can be placed on the transfer table 120, and then the same number of workpieces 50 (i.e., the buffered workpieces 50) can be replenished on the transfer table 120, so that the production line 20 always transfers the same number of workpieces 50.

[0031] For example, workpieces 50 can be divided into first-class and second-class workpieces based on the detection results. First-class workpieces can be buffered on the transfer table 120. The second transport component 320 returns the first-class workpieces to the production line 20 and places the second-class workpieces on the transfer table 120. The second-class workpieces at the transfer table 120 can be transferred to the conveying assembly 400 by the third transport component 330. Specifically, when the second-class workpieces are among the multiple workpieces 50 transferred by the second transport component 320, they can be placed on the transfer table 120, and the same number of first-class workpieces can be picked up from the transfer table 120. After replenishing the first-class workpieces, they are then uniformly transferred to the receiving area 21. This ensures that the receiving area 21 always receives the same number of first-class workpieces, facilitating subsequent processing. Figure 2 It is easy to understand that the production line 20 can support the workpiece 50 through the carrier 22, and the workpiece 50 can be transported by driving the carrier 22 to move. In this embodiment, relying on the material replenishment function of the transfer table 120, the carrier 22 can transport the workpiece 50 in a fully loaded state.

[0032] Understandably, when the number of first-type workpieces at the transfer table 120 is insufficient to replenish the full load of the carrier 22, the second handling component 320 can directly place the first-type workpieces on the transfer table 120, forming a buffer of first-type workpieces for the next replenishment. Thus, the carrier 22 only has an empty state and a full-load state, facilitating subsequent processing.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the transfer table 120 has material holding positions 121 for placing workpieces 50. The number of material holding positions 121 is greater than the maximum number of workpieces 50 that the third transport component 330 can transfer at one time, which facilitates buffering of workpieces 50.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the transfer table 120 is located downstream of the support table 110 and can move relative to the support table 110 to between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the transfer table 120 is spaced apart from the support table 110, allowing the receiving area 21 of the production line 20 to communicate with the outside. In the second position, the transfer table 120 covers the receiving area 21, at which point the second transport member 320 can transfer the workpiece 50 to the transfer table 120 with approximately the same action.

[0035] Furthermore, the conveying assembly 400 and the third handling component 330 can be located downstream of the platform 110, with the transfer table 120 in the first position relatively close to the conveying assembly 400 and the third handling component 330. That is, when the transfer table 120 opens the receiving area 21, it is also close to the conveying assembly 400 and the third handling component 330, facilitating the third handling component 330 to transfer the workpiece 50 to the conveying assembly 400.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the processing equipment 10 further includes a base 40 for supporting the production line 20 and through which the production line 20 passes. A support platform 110 is disposed on the base 40. The material handling assembly 100 further includes a support platform 130, which is disposed on the base 40 and mounted on the production line 20. The support platform 130 and the support platform 110 are spaced apart to form a communication port 101, which is used to connect the receiving area 21 and the external space. A transfer platform 120 is movably disposed on the support platform 130. When the transfer platform 120 is in the first position, the orthographic projection of the transfer platform 120 is at least partially located in the area where the support platform 130 is located. That is, at this time, there is a certain gap between the transfer platform 120 and the support platform 110. The receiving area 21 can be connected to the outside through the communication port 101. Therefore, the second conveying component 320 can place the workpiece 50 back into the receiving area 21 of the production line 20 through the communication port 101. When the transfer table 120 is in the second position, the transfer table 120 blocks the communication port 101 and covers the receiving area 21 to receive the workpiece 50 transferred by the second conveying component 320.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the direction in which the conveying assembly 400 conveys the workpiece 50 intersects the direction in which the production line 20 conveys the workpiece 50. As one example, the production line 20 is used to convey the workpiece 50 along a first direction S1, and the conveying assembly 400 conveys the workpiece 50 along a second direction S2, where the first direction S1 and the second direction S2 intersect. Further, the first direction S1 may be perpendicular to the second direction S2.

[0038] In one embodiment, the transfer stage 120 can move along a first direction S1 between a first position and a second position.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the extended detection device 30 can be mounted on the production line 20 in a third direction S3, which may intersect with the first direction S1 and the second direction S2 respectively. Further, the support platform 110, the support table 130, and the transfer table 120 can be mounted on the base 40 in the third direction S3, so as to be positioned above the production line 20 in the third direction S3. When the transfer table 120 is in the first position, the orthographic projection of the transfer table 120 along the third direction S3 is at least partially located within the area where the support table 130 is located. Even further, any two of the first direction S1, the second direction S2, and the third direction S3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0040] Please see Figure 4In one embodiment, the material support assembly 100 further includes a connecting rail 140, a connecting block 150, and a driver 160. The connecting block 150 is fixed to the support platform 130, the connecting rail 140 is disposed on the transfer platform 120, and the connecting rail 140 and the connecting block 150 are slidably engaged. The driver 160 is disposed on the support platform 130 and connected to the transfer platform 120. By configuring the connecting rail 140 and the connecting block 150 to connect between the support platform 130 and the transfer platform 120, the movement accuracy and stability of the transfer platform 120 can be improved. Furthermore, the connecting rail 140 can extend along the first direction S1. The driver 160 can be configured as a linear driver 160 such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0041] As one example, the actuator 160 can be configured as a cylinder, with one end of the actuator 160 fixedly connected to the support platform 130 and the other end connected to the transfer platform 120.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the transfer table 120 further includes multiple fixtures 122, each fixture having a receiving position 121. The arrangement of the multiple fixtures 122 can be aligned with the arrangement direction of the multiple pick-up positions on the second transport member 320. As one example, the multiple fixtures 122 can also be arranged along a first direction S1.

[0043] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the detection component 200 may include multiple detection modules 210 to detect different areas of the workpiece 50, or to perform various types of detections on the workpiece 50. Further, the detection component 200 also includes a conveying component 220, which is disposed on the platform 110 and can transport the workpiece 50 through each detection module 210. Even further, multiple detection modules 210 can be configured to be arranged sequentially along a first direction S1, in which case the conveying component 220 transports the workpiece 50 along the first direction S1.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first conveying component 310 is used to transfer the workpiece 50 to the conveying component 220, and the second conveying component 320 is used to pick up and transfer the workpiece 50 at the conveying component 220.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first conveying component 310, the second conveying component 320, and the third conveying component 330 can pick up the workpiece 50 using methods such as clamping or vacuum adsorption. Please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6As one example, at least one of the first transport component 310, the second transport component 320, and the third transport component 330 includes a pickup structure 301. The pickup structure 301 includes a clamping member 302 and a pressure block 303. At least two clamping members 302 are movable towards and away from each other to clamp and release the workpiece 50. Each clamping member 302 includes a bracket 304 and a hook 305. One end of the hook 305 is connected to the bracket 304, and the free end of the hook 305 is bent toward the side where the other clamping member 302 is located to form a support portion 305a. That is, the free ends of the hooks 305 of the two clamping members 302 are folded toward each other to form the support portion 305a. The pressure block 303 is movably disposed on the side of the hook 305 facing the other clamping member 302 along the pressing direction, and the pressure block 303 is disposed facing the support portion 305a in the pressing direction. Therefore, when the clamping member 302 clamps the workpiece 50, the supporting part 305a can support the workpiece 50 at the bottom of the workpiece 50, and the pressing block 303 presses down on the top of the workpiece 50, and cooperates with the supporting part 305a to clamp the workpiece 50 from top to bottom, thereby improving the positional stability of the workpiece 50 relative to the clamping member 302 and facilitating the transfer of the workpiece 50.

[0046] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the hook 305 is movably connected to the bracket 304 along the pressing direction. The picking structure 301 also includes an elastic element 308, the two ends of which are connected to the bracket 304 and the hook 305, respectively. With this configuration, the hook 305 has a certain elastic floating capability in the first direction S1 to reduce the impact that may be caused to the workpiece 50 when picking it up.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the hook 305 includes a connecting plate 305b, a connecting handle 305c, and a support portion 305a as described above. The connecting handle 305c is connected between the support portion 305a and the connecting plate 305b, and the support portion 305a is folded relative to the connecting handle 305c toward the side where another clamping member 302 is located. Multiple connecting handles 305c and support portions 305a can be present and connected to the connecting plate 305b respectively, to act together on the workpiece 50 and improve the stability of picking up the workpiece 50. The connecting plate 305b includes a protrusion 305d, and an elastic member 308 elastically abuts against the protrusion 305d and the bracket 304. The elastic member 308 can be configured as a compression spring.

[0048] As one example, the pressing direction described in each embodiment can be parallel to the third direction S3, that is, the pressing block 303 and the supporting part 305a cooperate to clamp and fix the workpiece 50 on the third direction S3.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 5In one embodiment, the pickup structure 301 further includes a pressing driver 306 and a clamping driver 307. The pressing driver 306 is disposed on the clamping member 302 and connected to the pressing block 303 to drive the pressing block 303 to move closer to and away from the supporting portion 305a along the pressing direction. The clamping driver 307 is connected to the two clamping members 302 to drive the two clamping members 302 to move towards and away from each other, realizing the clamping action and the opening action.

[0050] In one embodiment, the clamping direction of the two clamping members 302 can be designed specifically according to actual conditions. As one example, the clamping direction of the clamping members 302 can be configured to be parallel to a first direction.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first transport component 310, the second transport component 320, and the third transport component 330 may all include the aforementioned pickup structure 301. Therefore, for ease of distinction, the pickup structure 301 of the first transport component 310 is referred to as the first pickup structure 311, the pickup structure 301 of the second transport component 320 is referred to as the second pickup structure 321, and the pickup structure 301 of the third transport component 330 is referred to as the third pickup structure 331. It should be noted that since the first pickup structure 311, the second pickup structure 321, and the third pickup structure 331 are all pickup structures 301 described in each embodiment, unless there is a contradiction, the features and beneficial effects that the pickup structure 301 in each embodiment has are also present in the first pickup structure 311, the second pickup structure 321, and the third pickup structure 331, and will not be described in detail in each embodiment.

[0052] Please see Figure 6 Combined Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first conveying component 310 further includes a first frame 312, which is mounted on the base 40 and located upstream of the material support assembly 100. A first pick-up structure 311 is movably mounted on the first frame 312 along a first direction S1 to transport the workpiece 50 from the production line 20 to the material support assembly 100.

The second drive module 314 can be used to drive the first pickup structure 311 to perform a relatively large stroke movement in the third direction S3, while the first longitudinal transfer module 319 is used to drive the first pickup structure 311 to perform a relatively small stroke movement in the third direction S3, so as to accurately adapt to the position of the workpiece 50 while satisfying the transfer efficiency.

[0056] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, since both the first transport component 310 and the second transport component 320 are used to transfer the workpiece 50, and the actions they need to perform are roughly mirror images of each other, the first transport component 310 and the second transport component 320 can be configured to have similar or identical structures.

[0057] Please see Figure 7 Combined Figure 1In one embodiment, the second conveying component 320 further includes a second frame 322, which is mounted on the base 40 and located downstream of the material support assembly 100. A second pick-up structure 321 is movably disposed on the second frame 322 along a first direction S1 to transport the workpiece 50 from the tray 110 to the production line 20, or to transport the workpiece 50 to the transfer table 120 in a second position.

[0059] Furthermore, the clamping driver 307 of the second pickup structure 321 can be located on the sixth connecting frame 328.

[0060] In one embodiment, the second conveying component 320 further includes a second longitudinal movement module 329, which is connected between the sixth connecting frame 328 and the second pickup structure 321 to drive the second pickup structure 321 to move along a third direction S3. It is understood that both the fifth drive module 324 and the second longitudinal movement module 329 can drive the second pickup structure 321 to move along a third direction S3. The fifth drive module 324 can be used to drive the second pickup structure 321 to perform a relatively large stroke movement in the third direction S3, while the second longitudinal movement module 329 is used to drive the second pickup structure 321 to perform a relatively small stroke movement in the third direction S3, so as to accurately adapt to the position of the workpiece 50 while satisfying transfer efficiency.

[0061] Please see Figure 8 Combined Figure 1In one embodiment, the third transport component 330 further includes a third frame 332, which is mounted on the base 40 and located downstream of the second transport component 320. A third pick-up structure 331 is movably mounted on the third frame 332 along a first direction S1 to transport the workpiece 50 from the transfer table 120 to the conveying assembly 400. Furthermore, the third pick-up structure 331 can also move along a second direction S2 and a third direction S3 to flexibly transfer the workpiece 50.

[0062] In one embodiment, the third conveying component 330 further includes a seventh drive module 333, an eighth drive module 334, a seventh connecting frame 335, and an eighth connecting frame 336.

[0063] Please continue reading. Figure 8 Combined Figure 1 Since the conveying direction of the conveying component 400 is different from that of the production line 20 and the transfer table 120, in order to ensure that the workpiece 50 has the same relative posture (e.g., short side facing forward) on different motion mechanisms, the third conveying component 330 can also be configured to have a rotation function to drive the workpiece 50 to rotate and switch postures. Further, in one embodiment, the third conveying component 330 includes a mounting frame 337 and a rotary driver 338. The rotary driver 338 is disposed on the mounting frame 337 and connected to the third pickup structure 331 to drive the third pickup structure 331 to rotate and switch the posture of the workpiece 50. Further, the rotary driver 338 can be disposed on the eighth connecting frame 336.

[0064] As one example, the rotation axis of the third picking structure 331 can be parallel to the third direction S3.

[0065] In one embodiment, as described above, the conveying assembly 400 conveys the workpiece 50 along the second direction S2. Therefore, the positional accuracy requirement between the third pickup structure 331 and the conveying assembly 400 in the second direction S2 is relatively lower. Thus, the third pickup structure 331 may also be configured not to have the function of moving in the second direction S2.

[0066] Please refer to it again. Figure 3In one embodiment, the conveying assembly 400 and the material conveying component 220 can be flexibly configured to convey the workpiece 50 as needed. As one example, the conveying assembly 400 and the material conveying component 220 can be configured to convey the workpiece 50 by means of conveyor belt conveying, roller conveying, friction wheel conveying, and moving table translation conveying, etc.

[0067] Please see Figure 9 In one embodiment, the conveying component 220 includes a frame 221, a transmission ring 222, a first abutment 223, and a second abutment 224. The transmission ring 222 is rotatably mounted on the frame 221. Around the circumference of the transmission ring 222, multiple first abutments 223 and multiple second abutments 224 are alternately and spaced apart on the transmission ring 222. Each first abutment 223 and its adjacent second abutment 224 forms a receiving groove 225, which can be used to receive the workpiece 50. Thus, when the transmission ring 222 rotates circumferentially, the spatial position of the receiving groove 225 changes tangentially, thereby conveying the workpiece 50. Using the conveying method provided in this embodiment, there is no relative displacement between the workpiece 50 and local areas of the first abutment 223, the second abutment 224, and the transmission ring 222 during transport, thus reducing the risk of collision and wear on the workpiece 50 during transport.

[0068] Furthermore, the material conveying component 220 also includes a material conveying driver 160, which is disposed on the upright 221 and connected to the transmission ring 222 to drive the transmission ring 222 to perform circumferential movement.

[0069] Please continue reading. Figure 9 In one embodiment, the support frame 221 includes a first bracket 221a and a second bracket 221b, both extending along a first direction S1 and spaced apart along a second direction S2. Both the first bracket 221a and the second bracket 221b are provided with a transmission ring 222, a first abutment 223, and a second abutment 224. The receiving groove 225 formed by the two abutments on the first bracket 221a and the receiving groove 225 formed by the two abutments on the second bracket 221b together accommodate the workpiece 50. At least one of the first bracket 221a and the second bracket 221b is movably arranged along the second direction S2 to adjust the distance between them, facilitating the adaptation of workpieces 50 of different sizes.

[0070] Please see Figure 3 Combined Figure 1In one embodiment, the material support assembly 100, the detection assembly 200 corresponding to the material support assembly 100, and the conveying assembly 300 that transfers workpieces 50 between the material support assembly 100 and the material support assembly 100 constitute a detection line 31. The extended detection device 30 may include multiple detection lines 31 to detect workpieces 50 in parallel, thereby improving efficiency. The multiple detection lines 31 are arranged side by side along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly 400, so that workpieces 50 at multiple detection lines 31 can be conveniently transferred to the conveying assembly 400.

[0071] In one embodiment, the direction in which the detection line 31 conveys the workpiece 50 can be configured to be parallel to the direction in which the production line 20 conveys the workpiece 50, so that the upstream and downstream ends of the detection line 31 are aligned with the upstream and downstream receiving areas 21 of the production line 20, respectively.

[0072] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
