Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of end gear disc inspection technology, specifically to an inspection device for end gear disc production. Background Technology

[0002] Gear discs are precision parts commonly used in mechanical transmission. The accuracy of their tooth surfaces directly affects transmission efficiency and equipment stability. Therefore, strict inspection of their tooth surface quality is necessary during production. Current methods for inspecting gear discs mostly rely on manual visual inspection or single-camera inspection, which have the following drawbacks: manual inspection is inefficient, labor-intensive, and susceptible to human error leading to missed or incorrect inspections; a single camera can only inspect one side of the gear disc, requiring manual flipping and re-inspection, which is unsuitable for automated production lines; machining debris easily remains on the tooth surface before inspection, and failure to clean it promptly can lead to distorted inspection results; and qualified and unqualified products require manual sorting after inspection, further reducing production efficiency.

[0003] While some automated inspection equipment can perform single-sided inspection, it lacks integrated cleaning, flipping, and sorting mechanisms. The equipment layout is scattered, occupies a large space, and the coordination between mechanisms is poor, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-efficiency production lines. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated inspection device that combines cleaning, double-sided inspection, automatic flipping, and sorting functions to improve the efficiency and accuracy of end-tooth disc inspection and reduce labor costs. Summary of the Invention

Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: a testing device for the production of end gear discs, comprising a workbench, on which two conveyor belts are arranged in parallel, and the end gear discs are mounted on the two conveyor belts and transported by the conveyor belts. The workbench is sequentially provided with a cleaning mechanism, a first testing camera, a first flipping mechanism, a second testing camera, and a second flipping mechanism along the transport direction of the conveyor belts. The first testing camera is used to test the tooth surface of the end gear disc, and the second testing camera is used to test the other side of the end gear disc. The first flipping mechanism and the second flipping mechanism flip the end gear disc. The first flipping mechanism and the second flipping mechanism are each provided with a feeding mechanism on the side opposite to the conveyor belts. The feeding mechanism is provided with a feeding chute on the side away from the conveyor belts. The first testing camera and the second testing camera have the same structure, and the first flipping mechanism and the second flipping mechanism have the same structure.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a support beam fixed on the workbench, a movable platform movably mounted on the support beam, and an air pump and an air nozzle connected to the air pump mounted on the movable platform.

[0007] Preferably, a screw is rotatably mounted on the support beam, and a threaded sleeve is fitted onto the screw via a threaded connection. The movable platform is fitted onto the threaded sleeve. A guide rail parallel to the screw is also provided on the support beam. A slider is provided on the movable platform corresponding to the guide rail, and the slider slides with the guide rail. A motor for driving the screw to rotate is also mounted on the support beam, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the screw via a transmission.

[0008] Preferably, the first flipping mechanism includes a lifting mechanism disposed between the two conveyor belts and a mounting plate fixedly disposed on one side of the conveyor belts. The lifting mechanism is used to lift the end toothed discs on the conveyor belts upward. A lifting cylinder is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to a support frame. A transverse cylinder is fixedly mounted on the support frame. The output end of the transverse cylinder is connected to a transverse block. A first rotary cylinder is mounted on the transverse block. The output end of the first rotary cylinder is connected to a pneumatic gripper for clamping the end toothed discs, and the rotation center line of the first rotary cylinder is horizontally arranged.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder fixed on the workbench and located between the two conveyor belts, and the output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to a lifting plate for supporting the end gear disc.

[0010] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a second slider, and the mounting plate is provided with a second vertical guide rail corresponding to the second slider, and the second slider and the second guide rail are slidably engaged.

[0011] Preferably, the unloading mechanism includes a mounting frame fixed on the workbench, a rodless cylinder fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, a mounting base connected to the moving end of the rodless cylinder, a second rotary cylinder mounted on the mounting base, a mounting block connected to the output end of the second rotary cylinder, a clamping cylinder mounted on the mounting block, a clamping arm connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder for clamping the end gear plate, and the rotation center line of the second rotary cylinder being vertically arranged.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting bracket is further provided with two guide shafts arranged in parallel, the two guide shafts being aligned with the length direction of the rodless cylinder, and the mounting base is provided with guide cylinders corresponding to the two guide shafts respectively, the guide cylinders being movably sleeved on the corresponding guide shafts and slidingly engaging with the guide shafts.

[0013] 3. Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages: This invention integrates four core functions—cleaning, double-sided inspection, automatic flipping, and defective product sorting—onto a single workbench. Continuous transport of the toothed disc is achieved via two parallel conveyor belts. Each mechanism is arranged in an orderly fashion along the conveyor belt direction, forming a complete closed-loop inspection process. The connection between the cleaning mechanism and the first inspection camera allows for immediate debris removal before the toothed disc enters the inspection stage, preventing process interruptions. The cooperation between the first flipping mechanism and the second inspection camera enables immediate flipping after single-sided inspection of the toothed disc, eliminating the need for additional transfer. The feeding mechanism next to the flipping mechanism, linked with the feeding chute, allows for rapid sorting after inspection result confirmation. The entire process requires no manual intervention in the transfer between equipment, effectively avoiding production stoppages caused by poor process connections in traditional distributed equipment, and significantly improving the continuity and overall efficiency of the production line. This invention provides comprehensive air cleaning of the end gear disc's tooth surface, from pretreatment before inspection to double-sided coverage during the inspection process. In the cleaning mechanism, a motor drives a screw to rotate, causing the threaded sleeve and moving stage to move smoothly along the guide rail. Combined with an air pump-driven nozzle, this achieves all-around, no-dead-angle air cleaning of the tooth surface, preventing machining debris from adhering to the tooth grooves or tips and causing misjudgments by the inspection camera. Simultaneously, the double-sided inspection setup fully covers both sides of the end gear disc, eliminating potential quality issues on the reverse side that might be missed during single-sided inspection, providing a more reliable guarantee for the quality control of the end gear disc. All core actions of the device of this invention are fully automated, requiring no manual operation. In the flipping process, flipping mechanism one and flipping mechanism two drive the lifting plate to precisely lift the end toothed disc via the lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder drives the support frame to rise and fall smoothly along guide rail two. After the pneumatic gripper reliably clamps the end toothed disc, the transverse cylinder pushes the transverse block to adjust its position. Rotary cylinder one completes the flipping around the horizontal rotation center line. The entire process is smooth and precise, avoiding problems such as end toothed disc collisions and positioning deviations that may occur during manual flipping. In the unloading and sorting stage, the unloading mechanism can drive the mounting base to move to the designated position along the guide shaft via the rodless cylinder according to the feedback from the detection system. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping arm to clamp the unqualified end toothed disc. Rotary cylinder two adjusts its direction around the vertical rotation center line, accurately sending the unqualified product into the unloading chute. No manual judgment or sorting is required throughout the process, which not only reduces the intensity of manual labor but also avoids the risk of misjudgment and omission that may occur during manual sorting. At the same time, it reduces surface contamination or damage caused by manual contact with the end toothed disc. Attached Figure Description

[0021] See attached document Figures 1-6 An inspection device for producing end gear discs includes a workbench 1 with two parallel conveyor belts 2. The end gear disc 3 is mounted on the two conveyor belts 2 and is transported by the conveyor belts 2. The workbench 1 is arranged sequentially along the transport direction of the conveyor belts 2, including a cleaning mechanism 4, a first inspection camera 5, a first flipping mechanism 6, a second inspection camera 7, and a second flipping mechanism 8. The first inspection camera 5 is used to inspect the tooth surface of the end gear disc 3, the second inspection camera 7 is used to inspect the other side of the end gear disc 3, the first flipping mechanism 6 and the second flipping mechanism 8 flip the end gear disc 3.

[0022] The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a support beam 41 fixed on the workbench 1. A movable stage 46 is movably mounted on the support beam 41, and an air pump 47 and an air nozzle 48 connected to the air pump 47 are installed on the movable stage 46. A screw 42 is rotatably mounted on the support beam 41, and a threaded sleeve 43 is threaded onto the screw 42. The movable stage 46 is fitted onto the threaded sleeve 43. A guide rail 44 parallel to the screw 42 is also provided on the support beam 41, and a slider 45 is provided on the movable stage 46 corresponding to the guide rail 44, with the slider 45 slidingly engaging with the guide rail 44. A motor 49 for driving the screw 42 is also mounted on the support beam 41, and the output shaft of the motor 49 is connected to the screw 42 for transmission. The speed of the motor 49 in the cleaning mechanism 4 is adjustable, and the moving speed of the movable stage 46 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the end gear 3 to ensure that the air nozzle 48 can completely cover the tooth surface of the end gear 3 with different diameters.

[0023] The flipping mechanism 6 includes a lifting mechanism disposed between two conveyor belts 2 and a mounting plate 603 fixedly disposed on one side of the conveyor belts 2. The lifting mechanism is used to lift the end toothed discs 3 on the conveyor belts 2. A lifting cylinder 604 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 603. The output end of the lifting cylinder 604 is connected to a support frame 605. A transverse cylinder 608 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 605. The output end of the transverse cylinder 608 is connected to a transverse block 609. A rotary cylinder 610 is mounted on the transverse block 609. The output end of the rotary cylinder 610 is connected to a pneumatic gripper 611 for clamping the end toothed discs 3, and the rotation center line of the rotary cylinder 610 is horizontally arranged. The pneumatic gripper 611 of the flipping mechanism 6 adopts an adjustable clamping spacing design, which can adapt to the clamping requirements of end toothed discs 3 of different thicknesses through pneumatic control, without the need to change the clamps.

[0024] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 601 fixed on the workbench 1 and located between two conveyor belts 2. The output end of the lifting cylinder 601 is connected to a lifting plate 602 for supporting the end gear 3. A second slider 606 is provided on the support frame 605, and a second vertical guide rail 607 is provided on the mounting plate 603 corresponding to the second slider 606. The second slider 606 and the second guide rail 607 are in sliding engagement.

[0025] The unloading mechanism 9 includes a mounting frame 91 fixed on the workbench 1. A rodless cylinder 92 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 91. The moving end of the rodless cylinder 92 is connected to a mounting base 93. A rotary cylinder 96 is mounted on the mounting base 93. A mounting block 97 is connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder 96. A clamping cylinder 98 is mounted on the mounting block 97.

[0026] Two guide shafts 94 are also arranged in parallel on the mounting bracket 91. The two guide shafts 94 are aligned with the length direction of the rodless cylinder 92. Guide cylinders 95 are respectively provided on the mounting base 93 corresponding to the two guide shafts 94. The guide cylinders 95 are movably sleeved on the corresponding guide shafts 94 and slide in cooperation with the guide shafts 94. The spacing of the clamping arms 99 of the unloading mechanism 9 can be adjusted by the stroke of the clamping cylinder 98, which can adapt to end gear discs 3 of different diameters. The product specifications to be tested can be switched without large-scale modification of the equipment, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment and reducing the equipment investment cost when enterprises change product models.

[0027] In the cleaning mechanism 4, the screw 42 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 44, the threaded sleeve 43 is connected to the moving table 46, and the sliding cooperation between the slider 45 and the guide rail 44 can effectively limit the offset of the moving table 46, ensuring that the air nozzle 48 always moves along the preset trajectory, and avoiding incomplete cleaning due to movement deviation. The support frame 605 of the flipping mechanism 6 cooperates with the guide rail 607 on the mounting plate 603 through the slider 606, ensuring that the support frame 605 moves only in the vertical direction when the lifting cylinder 604 is driven, and avoiding shaking when the pneumatic gripper 611 grips the end gear plate 3; the mounting base 93 of the unloading mechanism 9 cooperates with the guide cylinder 95 and two parallel guide shafts 94, which can effectively counteract the lateral force generated when the rodless cylinder 92 moves, ensuring that the mounting base 93 moves smoothly and avoiding the clamping arm 99 being unable to accurately clamp the end gear plate 3 due to offset.

[0028] This device can be seamlessly integrated with the end gear disc production line. End gear discs 3, processed by the preceding equipment, can be directly conveyed to the conveyor belt 2 of this device. Qualified products after inspection can directly enter subsequent packaging or assembly processes, while defective products are collected centrally via the unloading chute 10, forming a complete production chain of "processing-inspection-sorting-subsequent handling," reducing intermediate transfer links and improving overall production efficiency. Simultaneously, the device's inspection system can record the inspection data of each end gear disc 3 in real time, including inspection time, inspection results, and defect type, and can upload the data to the enterprise's production management system. This facilitates the traceability of production and inspection information for each end gear disc 3. If batch quality problems are subsequently discovered, the problem process can be quickly located through data tracing. The centrally collected defective products also facilitate technical personnel in analyzing the causes of defects. For example, tooth surface wear may be related to tool wear in the preceding processing equipment, and tooth surface cracks may be related to the heat treatment process. This allows for targeted optimization of the preceding production process, reducing the generation of defective products from the source and improving the overall production quality of the end gear discs 3.

[0029] Working principle: The pre-processed end gear disc 3 is conveyed to the feed end of the workbench 1 via the assembly line, where it is stably mounted on two parallel conveyor belts 2. Because the end gear disc 3 has a disc-shaped structure, the distance between the two conveyor belts 2 is less than the diameter of the end gear disc 3, ensuring that the end gear disc 3 is placed stably and does not fall off. Subsequently, the control system starts the conveyor belts 2, which drive the end gear disc 3 to move along the transmission direction at a preset speed, entering the next process step. When the end toothed disc 3 moves with the conveyor belt 2 to directly below the cleaning mechanism 4, the conveyor belt 2 stops conveying, and the cleaning mechanism 4 starts. First, the air pump 47 is powered on, and compressed air is converted into high-pressure airflow through the air nozzle 48, which is sprayed onto the upward-facing tooth surface of the end toothed disc 3 to initially remove surface dust and larger particles of debris. At the same time, the motor 49 starts after receiving the control signal, and its output shaft drives the screw 42 on the support beam 41 to rotate clockwise. Because the threaded sleeve 43 is threadedly engaged with the screw 42, and the moving table 46 is connected to the guide on the support beam 41 via the slider 45, The guide rail 44 is slidably connected, and the rotational motion of the screw 42 is converted into the linear motion of the threaded sleeve 43 and the moving table 46 along the guide rail 44. The moving table 46 drives the air nozzle 48 to move from one side of the end gear plate 3 to the other side. During the process, the high-pressure airflow continuously acts on the tooth surface grooves, tooth tips and other areas where debris is easily left behind, to achieve all-round cleaning without dead angles. After cleaning is completed, the motor 49 reverses and drives the moving table 46 and the air nozzle 48 to return to the initial position. The air pump 47 stops working, the conveyor belt 2 resumes transmission, and the cleaned end gear plate 3 is transported to the inspection stage.

[0030] When the end toothed disc 3 moves with the conveyor belt 2 to the detection area of ​​the detection camera 5, the conveyor belt 2 pauses again, the detection camera 5 starts, and the lens of the detection camera 5 is aimed at the upward-facing tooth surface of the end toothed disc 3. Multiple sets of tooth surface images are collected at a preset shooting frequency to ensure that the entire tooth surface is covered. The collected image data is transmitted to the background image processing system in real time. The system uses image comparison and defect recognition algorithms to determine whether there are quality defects such as cracks, missing teeth, wear, and burrs on the surface of the end toothed disc 3. If the detection result is "qualified", the system records the result and sends a signal to the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 continues to transport, and the end toothed disc 3 enters the flipping stage. If the detection result is "unqualified", in addition to recording the result, the system will also mark the ID information of the end toothed disc 3 and synchronize the signal to the unloading mechanism 9 corresponding to the flipping mechanism 6 to prepare for subsequent sorting. When the end toothed disc 3 is transferred to the flipping mechanism 6, the conveyor belt 2 stops, the flipping mechanism 6 works, and the lifting cylinder 601 located between the two conveyor belts 2 receives the signal and its piston rod extends upward, driving the lifting plate 602 connected to the top to rise synchronously. The lifting plate 602 lifts the end toothed disc 3 from the bottom until the end toothed disc 3 is completely separated from the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Subsequently, the piston rod of the transverse cylinder 608 extends, driving the transverse block 609, the rotary cylinder 610, and the pneumatic gripper 611 to move towards the end gear plate 3 until the gripper of the pneumatic gripper 611 is in contact with the outer surface of the end gear plate 3; the pneumatic gripper 611 is vented and clamped, reliably holding the end gear plate 3. After clamping, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 601 retracts, and the lifting plate 602 returns to its initial position; the piston rod of the transverse cylinder 608 retracts slightly, driving the end gear plate 3 to move slightly away from the center of the conveyor belt 2, avoiding interference with other components during flipping; the lifting cylinder 604 is activated, and its piston rod extends upward, driving the connected support frame 605 to move upward along the guide rail 607. Because the support frame 605 slides with the guide rail 607 through the slider 606, it can ensure that the support frame 605 moves smoothly only in the vertical direction, avoiding deviation; Subsequently, the rotary cylinder 610 is started, driving the pneumatic gripper 611 and the end gear plate 3 to rotate 180° along the horizontal center line, completing the flipping of the end gear plate 3; after flipping, the tooth surface of the end gear plate 3 that was originally facing upwards is facing downwards, in preparation for the subsequent second side inspection. The second side may be a toothed surface or a smooth surface, depending on the model.

[0031] After the flipping is completed, the piston rod of the transverse cylinder 608 extends again, sending the end toothed disc 3 back to the top between the two conveyor belts 2; then, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 604 retracts, driving the support frame 605 and the end toothed disc 3 to move downward along the guide rail 607, ensuring that the bottom of the end toothed disc 3 is flush with the surface of the conveyor belt 2; the pneumatic gripper 611 is released by air, and the end toothed disc 3 is placed stably on the conveyor belt 2; finally, the lifting cylinder 604 continues to drive the support frame 605 to reset to the initial height, the transverse cylinder 608 drives the transverse block 609 and the pneumatic gripper 611 to reset, the conveyor belt 2 resumes transmission, and the flipped end toothed disc 3 is transported to the second inspection stage.

[0032] When the end toothed disc 3 moves with the conveyor belt 2 to the detection area of ​​the second detection camera 7, the conveyor belt 2 pauses, and the second detection camera 7 starts. The second detection camera 7 has the same structure and operating logic as the first detection camera 5. The second flipping mechanism 8 has the same structure as the first flipping mechanism 6, and its operating logic is the same as the first flip. When the contracted product passes by, the unloading mechanism 9 does not operate. For end gear discs 3 that fail the first or second inspection, when the end gear disc 3 marked "unqualified" moves with the conveyor belt 2 to the corresponding unloading mechanism 9, the unloading mechanism 9 next to the first flipping mechanism 6 for the first unqualified side, and the unqualified side directly in front of the unloading mechanism 9 next to the second flipping mechanism 8 for the second unqualified side, the conveyor belt 2 stops; the rodless cylinder 92 starts, and its moving end drives the mounting seat 93 to move along the guide shaft 94 towards the end gear disc 3. Because the mounting seat 93 slides with the guide shaft 94 through the guide cylinder 95, it can ensure that the mounting seat 93 moves smoothly without deviation. When the mounting seat 93 moves to the preset position, the rodless cylinder 92 stops; the second rotary cylinder 96 starts, driving the mounting block 97, the clamping cylinder 98 and the clamping arm 99 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the clamping arm 99 to ensure that it can fit the outer circular surface of the end gear disc 3. The clamping cylinder 98 starts, and its piston rod extends to drive the clamping arm 99 to clamp the end gear disc 3. Subsequently, the rodless cylinder 92 drives the mounting base 93 and the end toothed disc 3 to move away from the conveyor belt 2 until the end toothed disc 3 is directly above the unloading slide 10.

[0033] Rotary cylinder 2 96 rotates again, adjusting the posture of end gear plate 3 so that its axis is aligned with the extension direction of the unloading slide 10; the piston rod of clamping cylinder 98 retracts, clamping arm 99 releases, and end gear plate 3 slides down along unloading slide 10 to the defective product collection box, which is not shown in the figure; finally, rodless cylinder 92, rotary cylinder 2 96, and clamping cylinder 98 drive each component to reset, waiting for the next defective product.

[0034] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of the present invention, and are described in a relatively specific and detailed manner. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
