[0032] The detection device and the detection method for micro-pump detection according to the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application aims to provide an embodiment of a detection device for micro-pump detection.

[0034] In this embodiment, the detection device mainly comprises a feeding device 100, a material moving device 140 and a detection device 230.

[0035] Among them, the feeding device 100 can include a feeding robot and a feeding seat 110, the feeding robot places the micro-pump in the placing hole 120 of the feeding seat 110 one by one, or places several micro-pumps on several placing holes 120 at a time to improve the placing efficiency.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the feeding robot can be provided with a light identifier, when the placing hole 120 has a micro-pump, the feeding robot no longer places it, avoiding placing two micro-pumps in one placing hole 120 at the same time, preventing feeding confusion.

[0037] For the placing hole 120, the placing holes 120 are arranged in a row to adapt to the arrangement of the detection mechanism 240, and also facilitate the clamping of the material moving device 140.

[0038] Referring to Figure 3 , in the placing hole 120, the placing hole 120 is provided with an elastic lifting seat 130 supporting the micro-pump, the bottom of the elastic lifting seat 130 is provided with a spring, the spring supports the elastic lifting seat 130, at the same time, the outer contour of the elastic lifting seat 130 matches the shape of the inner surface of the placing hole 120, so that the elastic lifting seat 130 slides up and down along the placing hole 120.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the elastic lifting seat 130 can be provided with a second elastic pad 410 supporting the micro-pump, to flexibly contact the micro-pump, reduce friction loss, and also avoid pressure injury.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the elastic lifting seat 130 may be equipped with a first detector 420 for detecting the presence or absence of a micro pump, so as to confirm whether the elastic lifting seat 130 is equipped with a micro pump, which facilitates the control of the loading robot and the transfer device 140.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a second detector 430 for detecting the lifting of the elastic lifting seat 130 can be provided on the side wall of the placement hole 120. The presence of the micro pump can be confirmed by detecting the position of the elastic lifting seat 130, and it is also convenient to confirm whether the lifting of the elastic lifting seat 130 is normal, so as to avoid affecting the cooperation with the stop member 270.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 For the material transfer device 140, the material transfer device 140 includes a transverse frame 150, a lifting frame 160 disposed on the transverse frame 150, and a clamping assembly 170 disposed on the lifting frame 160. The clamping assembly 170 includes a front jaw 180, a rear jaw 190, and a clamping power member 200 that drives the front jaw 180 and the rear jaw 190 to move closer to each other to clamp the material. The front jaw 180 is provided with a plurality of front clamping recesses 210, and the rear jaw 190 is provided with a rear clamping recess 220 corresponding to the front clamping recesses 210. The front clamping recesses 210 and the rear clamping recesses 220 cooperate to form a clamping space for clamping the micro pump.

[0043] That is, when there is a micro pump in the placement hole 120, the transverse frame 150 moves laterally, so that the lifting frame 160 is in the material receiving position. The lifting frame 160 descends, and the clamping power component 200 drives the front jaw 180 and the rear jaw 190 to move closer to each other to form a clamping space. The clamping space clamps the cylindrical part of the micro pump. Then, the lifting frame 160 rises, and the clamping assembly 170 can remove the micro pump from the placement hole 120. Then, the transverse frame 150 moves laterally in the opposite direction, and the lifting frame 160 descends again, so that the micro pump can be placed at the detection device 230.

[0044] The clamping power component 200 can be a cylinder, which enables the front jaw 180 and the rear jaw 190 to move quickly, clamp reliably, and has low manufacturing cost.

[0045] The detection device 230 includes a detection mechanism 240 and a material placement and translation seat 250. The material placement and translation seat 250 has multiple material placement sections 260 for placing micro pumps. The material placement and translation seat 250 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the detection mechanism 240 can detect the micro pump in the material placement section 260. In the second position, the front clamping recess 210 and the rear clamping recess 220 can clamp the micro pump.

[0046] That is, the material moving device 140 places the micropump on the material placing translation seat 250, the material placing translation seat 250 moves the micropump to the detection mechanism 240, and the detection mechanism 240 performs detection.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the material placing translation seat 250 can be driven by a pneumatic cylinder, so that the power is unified and the configuration is simplified.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the material placing part 260 can be vertically penetrated, and the inner surface of the material placing part 260 matches the outer contour of the micropump, so that the connection and communication are facilitated, the detection is performed, and the micropump is not placed upside down.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the detection mechanism 240 can include a downward pressing detection assembly 440 located above the material placing translation seat 250, an upward pressing detection assembly 450 located below the material placing translation seat 250, and a side moving detection assembly 460 located on one side of the material placing translation seat 250.

[0050] That is, the detection mechanism 240 facilitates the connection of the electrical interface and the pipe interface of the micropump by pressing upward and downward and approaching laterally, meets the needs of electrical communication and gas-liquid communication, enables the micropump to operate normally, and meets the needs of detection, such as air tightness detection, durability detection, and output detection.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the side moving detection assembly 460 can include a side moving seat parallel to the moving direction of the material placing translation seat 250, a left lifting detection piece and a right lifting detection piece arranged on the side moving seat, and the left lifting detection piece and the right lifting detection piece are used to detect two types of micropumps, and the two types of micropumps are arranged locally symmetrically left and right, and when the left lifting detection piece or the right lifting detection piece is lowered, the corresponding detection piece is turned on to detect.

[0052] That is, when detecting, the side moving seat approaches the micropump, and then the left lifting detection piece and the right lifting detection piece are pressed downward, for example, the micropump supports the left lifting detection piece, the pipe of the left lifting detection piece is in communication with the left lifting detection piece, air or liquid is facilitated to pass through, and the detection needs of at least two types of micropumps are met.

[0053] Since the present detection equipment can simultaneously detect multiple micropumps, the detection mechanism 240 also has multiple groups.

[0054] When a certain detection mechanism 240 fails or detects inaccurately, if the micropump is still placed in the material placing part 260, the failed detection mechanism 240 will inevitably perform detection, the detection mechanism 240 will obtain an incorrect detection result and alarm, and the use of the detection equipment will be affected. That is, when several detection stations fail, if the material is still normally loaded, invalid detection exists, and detection needs to be performed again in other detection stations.

[0055] If the loading is not performed, the force of the automatic loading and unloading mechanism is unbalanced, that is, the force of the clamping assembly 170 of the material moving device 140 is unbalanced, which can cause other micro pumps to easily fall and be damaged during the loading and unloading process.

[0056] Specifically, when one side of the current claw 180 and the rear claw 190 lacks a micro pump, due to the action of the clamping power element 200 on the middle part of the front claw 180 and the rear claw 190, the gap on the other side of the front claw 180 and the rear claw 190 is increased, the micro pump cannot be effectively clamped, the micro pump is easily damaged, and meanwhile, the effective work station is not loaded and cannot be detected.

[0057] To solve the above problems, the present application is improved, a blocking element 270 is additionally arranged between the front claw 180 and the rear claw 190, the number of the blocking element 270 is equal to the number of the invalid detection work station, and the positions correspond, so that the invalid detection can be avoided, and the micro pump body can be firmly fixed to avoid falling during the loading and unloading process.

[0058] Specifically, the front claw 180 or the rear claw 190 is provided with a plurality of blocking elements 270, the outer contour of the blocking element 270 matches the clamping space, when the clamping assembly 170 is lowered to take the material, the blocking element 270 can abut against the micro pump and make the micro pump and the elastic lifting seat 130 synchronously descend, so that the clamping space cannot clamp the material.

[0059] It is easy to understand that, by arranging the elastic lifting seat 130 and the blocking element 270, when some work stations of the detection mechanism 240 are invalid, for example, the conduction is poor or the air tightness is poor, the blocking element 270 can be arranged in the corresponding clamping space, and when the material moving device 140 moves the material, the blocking element 270 can press the micro pump, so that the micro pump and the elastic lifting seat 130 descend together, so that the clamping space cannot clamp the micro pump, that is, the material moving device 140 can only provide the micro pump to the effective work station, and the invalid detection can be avoided.

[0060] Meanwhile, since the outer contour of the blocking element 270 matches the clamping space, the clamping space can avoid lacking the supporting force due to the lack of the micro pump, the front claw 180 and the rear claw 190 can avoid the unbalanced force, and the individual micro pump can avoid loosening and falling.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 In some specific embodiments of the present application, the front clamping recess 210 can be provided with a front ring groove 280 for positioning the blocking element 270, the rear clamping recess 220 can be provided with a rear ring groove 290 for positioning the blocking element 270, the front ring groove 280 or the rear ring groove 290 is provided with a through hole 300, and the through hole 300 is provided with a locking screw 310 connected with the blocking element 270.

[0062] It is easily understood that, by setting the front ring groove 280 and the rear ring groove 290, the material blocking piece 270 can be stably supported, so that the material blocking piece 270 can normally press the micropump, and by setting the through hole 300 and the locking screw 310, the material blocking piece 270 can be fixed on the corresponding claw, so as to avoid that the front claw 180 and the rear claw 190 approach and move away from each other, and the material blocking piece 270 falls off.

[0063] With reference to Figure 4 In some specific embodiments of the present application, the material blocking piece 270 can include a front half shaft 320 inserted into the front material clamping recess 210 and a rear half shaft 330 inserted into the rear material clamping recess 220, and the material blocking piece 270 further includes a T-shaped rod 340, three ends of the T-shaped rod 340 being connected to the front half shaft 320, the rear half shaft 330 and a pressing cover 350 respectively, and the pressing cover 350 is used for pressing the micropump.

[0064] That is, by turning over the material blocking piece 270, the material blocking piece 270 has two states, when the pressing cover 350 is down, the outer contour of the pressing cover 350 matches the material clamping space, and the force balance of the material clamping assembly 170 is ensured, and at the same time, the pressing cover 350 can press the micropump.

[0065] When the pressing cover 350 is up, the pressing cover 350 is above the material clamping space and does not touch the micropump, and does not affect the normal clamping of the material clamping space.

[0066] In the embodiment, the cylindrical part of the micropump is formed by injection molding or casting and has a draft angle, so that when the coincidence degree of the cylindrical part of the micropump and the material clamping space is low, the material clamping space does not clamp the micropump, and the effect of the material blocking piece 270 is effective.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the material blocking piece 270 can have a first elastic pad 400 abutting against the micropump, that is, the pressing cover 350 has the first elastic pad 400, so as to reduce the hard contact and protect the micropump.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the front material clamping recess 210 can be provided with a square groove part 360 accommodating an end of the front half shaft 320, the front half shaft 320 has a square rod end 370 matching the square groove part 360, the rear material clamping recess 220 is provided with a reset spring 380, the reset spring 380 is sleeved on the rear half shaft 330, and the reset spring 380 is used for pushing the T-shaped rod 340, so that the square rod end 370 is inserted into the square groove part 360.

[0069] It is easily understood that, by setting the square groove part 360, the square rod end 370 and the reset spring 380, the pressing cover 350 of the material blocking piece 270 can also keep the state, so as to avoid that the material blocking piece 270 is accidentally rotated and the material blocking piece 270 cannot normally play the function.
