This utility model replaces the labor intensity of manual conductivity testing of the ceramic ignition needle body, saving time and effort, reducing labor costs, and improving the testing efficiency of the ceramic ignition needle body. However, it still has the following drawbacks: Although the aforementioned automatic testing device for ceramic ignition needles replaces the labor intensity of manual conductivity testing of the ceramic ignition needle body, saving time and effort, reducing labor costs, and improving the testing efficiency of the ceramic ignition needle body, it still has the problem that it does not take into account the integrity of the internal cavity structure of the ignition needle, which can easily lead to ignition needle products that are partially qualified but fail as a whole.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides an ignition needle detection device and method, including a rotating disk 1. A plurality of fixed cavities 4 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the rotating disk 1. Insertion cavities 6 are provided through the outer walls on both sides of each fixed cavity 4. Mounting blocks 7 are inserted into one end of each fixed cavity 4. Movable cavities 8 are provided inside the outer walls on both sides of each mounting block 7. A return spring 9 is fixedly connected to one end of each movable cavity 8. An insertion block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of each return spring 9. One end of the insertion block 10 is movably connected inside the movable cavity 8 and engaged inside the insertion cavity 6. A toggle piece 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of each insertion block 10. The toggle piece 11 is slidably connected inside a second through cavity 12, which is located at one end of the mounting block 7. The toggle piece 11 is also slidably connected inside a corresponding first through cavity 5, which is located on the outer wall of one end of the fixed cavity 4. One end of the mounting block 7 is fixedly connected to the vertical outer wall of a positioning frame 13.

[0023] In the above structure, the positioning frame 13 is installed into the fixed cavity 4 by inserting the mounting block 7. When the insertion cavity 6 and the movable cavity 8 correspond to each other, the reset spring 9 generates a reset potential energy to drive the insertion block 10 to move outward. Then, the insertion block 10 is inserted into the insertion cavity 6, and the positioning frame 13 is flexibly fixed to the top of the rotating disk 1 by the mounting block 7. The bolt-type installation method is abandoned. The positioning frame 13 and other components used for ignition needle detection are flexibly fixed to the top of the rotating disk 1 in a flexible way. This makes it easier to adjust and maintain in the later stages of the detection operation. When disassembling, the two corresponding toggle pieces 11 move relative to each other, and the insertion block 10 retracts into the movable cavity 8, so that the fixed cavity 4 and the mounting block 7 can be separated.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 The positioning frame 13 has a through hole on the outer wall of its horizontal top end. A sliding groove 14 is formed on the inner wall of the through hole. A sliding block 16 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 14. The sliding block 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 15. A placement cylinder 27 is fixedly connected through the top end of the connecting plate 15. Guide rails 17 are equally spaced through the top end of the positioning frame 13. The guide rails 17 are set with the center point of the placement cylinder 27 as the polar axis. The inner wall of the guide rails 17 is set with a "+" shaped structure. A "+" shaped guide slider 18 is slidably connected inside the guide rails 17. An "L" shaped connecting frame 19 is fixedly connected to the top end of the guide slider 18. A rotating roller 20 is rotatably connected inside the end of the connecting frame 19 near the placement cylinder 27.

[0025] In the above structure, the ignition needle to be tested is placed inside the placement cylinder 27. To ensure that the inner cavity of the placement cylinder 27 is perpendicularly aligned with the industrial image acquisition device 39, the guide slider 18 moves synchronously inside the guide rail 17, so that the connecting frame 19 and the rotating roller 20 move toward the center point of the placement cylinder 27. The ignition needle to be tested is limited by a three-point method. This method can accurately limit the detection of the ignition needle and ensure the accurate position of the inner cavity of the ignition needle.

[0026] Please see Figure 5The bottom end of the guide slider 18 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the transmission screw sleeve 21. The inner side wall of the transmission screw sleeve 21 is connected to the connecting screw 22. One end of the connecting screw 22 is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the placement cylinder 27. The other end of the connecting screw 22 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 23. The first bevel gear 23 is arranged in a vertical structure. One end of the outer wall of the first bevel gear 23 meshes with the top outer wall of the second bevel gear 24. The second bevel gear 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission gear 25. The teeth on the outer side wall of the transmission gear 25 mesh with the corresponding teeth on the outer side wall of the drive gear 26. The drive gear 26 is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the placement cylinder 27. The bottom end of the drive gear 26 is fixedly connected to the actuating ring 28.

[0027] The above structure, based on the three-point limiting structure formed by the connecting frame 19 and the rotating roller 20, allows the operator to manually rotate the drive gear 26 by using the actuating ring 28. This causes the drive gear 26 to drive the three meshed transmission gears 25 to rotate, and the transmission gears 25 to drive the second bevel gear 24 to rotate synchronously. When the second bevel gear 24 rotates, it drives the meshed first bevel gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting screw 22 to rotate. Because the connecting screw 22 and the transmission screw sleeve 21 form a screw transmission structure, when the connecting screw 22 rotates, the transmission screw sleeve 21 drives the guide slider 18 to slide inside the guide rail 17. This method allows the limiting structure formed by the connecting frame 19 and the rotating roller 20 to slide synchronously, ensuring the stability of the ignition needle's limiting position.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The top of the connecting plate 15 is vertically fixedly connected to an annular mounting ring 29. The outer wall of the mounting ring 29 is fixedly connected with several teeth 30 at equal intervals. The top of the positioning frame 13 is rotatably connected to a connecting gear 31. The teeth on the outer wall of the connecting gear 31 mesh with the corresponding teeth 30 fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer wall of the mounting ring 29. The top of the connecting gear 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 32.

[0029] In the above structure, when detecting the inner cavity of the ignition needle, the motor 32 drives the connecting gear 31 to rotate. Since the connecting gear 31 meshes with the corresponding teeth 30 that are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the mounting ring 29, the mounting ring 29 and the connecting plate 15 are driven to rotate at a uniform speed. The connecting plate 15 is guided to rotate in the sliding groove 14 by the sliding block 16. Thus, the rotation of the connecting plate 15 drives the ignition needle placed inside the placement cylinder 27, which is fixedly connected inside, to rotate slowly, so that the industrial image acquisition device 39 can capture image data of the inner wall of the ignition needle from different positions.

[0030] The specific usage process in this embodiment is as follows: First, the positioning frame 13 is installed into the fixed cavity 4 by inserting the mounting block 7. When the insertion cavity 6 and the movable cavity 8 correspond to each other, the reset spring 9 generates a reset potential energy to drive the insertion block 10 to move outward. Then, the insertion block 10 is inserted into the insertion cavity 6, and the positioning frame 13 is flexibly fixed to the top of the rotating disk 1 by the mounting block 7. Secondly, the operator manually rotates the drive gear 26 by using the actuating ring 28. This causes the drive gear 26 to drive the three meshed transmission gears 25 to rotate. The transmission gears 25 drive the second bevel gear 24 to rotate synchronously. When the second bevel gear 24 rotates, it drives the meshed first bevel gear 23 to rotate. This causes the first bevel gear 23 to drive the connecting screw 22 to rotate. Because the connecting screw 22 and the transmission screw sleeve 21 form a screw transmission structure, when the connecting screw 22 rotates, the transmission screw sleeve 21 drives the guide slider 18 to slide inside the guide rail 17. This method allows the limiting structure formed by the connecting frame 19 and the rotating roller 20 to slide synchronously. Then, the ignition needle to be tested is placed inside the placement cylinder 27. In order to ensure that the inner cavity of the placement cylinder 27 is perpendicularly aligned with the industrial image acquisition device 39, the guide slider 18 moves synchronously inside the guide rail 17, so that the connecting frame 19 and the rotating roller 20 move toward the center point of the placement cylinder 27, and the ignition needle to be tested is limited by a three-point method. Finally, during the inspection of the ignition needle's inner cavity, the motor 32 drives the connecting gear 31 to rotate. Since the connecting gear 31 meshes with the corresponding teeth 30 that are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the mounting ring 29, the mounting ring 29 and the connecting plate 15 are driven to rotate at a uniform speed. The connecting plate 15 is guided to rotate in the sliding groove 14 by the sliding block 16. Thus, the rotation of the connecting plate 15 drives the ignition needle placed inside the fixedly connected placement cylinder 27 to rotate slowly, allowing the industrial image acquisition device 39 to capture image data of the inner wall of the ignition needle from different positions. In this way, the ignition needle inspection device and method are completed. It should be noted that this invention is an ignition needle detection device and method. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle part of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power components, electrical components, and the matching monitoring computer and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle above and complete the electrical connection in the order of operation between each electrical component. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the field.

[0031] Example 2 Please see Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 This invention provides an ignition needle detection device and method, including a rotating disk 1, which is horizontally rotatably connected to the top of a mounting base 2. An output device is fixedly connected inside the mounting base 2, and the output end of the output device is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating disk 1. A mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting base 2. Two fixing brackets 33 are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 3. Connecting slide rails 34 are fixedly connected to the vertical outer wall of each fixing bracket 33 near the rotating disk 1. Connecting sliders 35 are vertically slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting slide rails 34, and the connecting sliders 35 have a locking mechanism. The structure is configured such that a connecting frame 36 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting slider 35. One connecting frame 36 is horizontal and the other is inclined at an angle of 5°. A ring light source 37 is fixedly connected through the top of each connecting frame 36. An industrial image acquisition device 39 is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting frame 36 via a connecting block 38. A lens 40 is installed at the acquisition end of the industrial image acquisition device 39. The industrial image acquisition device 39 is perpendicular to the ring light source 37 and is electrically connected to the ignition needle detection system.

[0032] The above structure is equipped with two sets of image acquisition devices consisting of a ring light source 37, an industrial image acquisition device 39, and a lens 40, which are used to acquire image data of the ignition needle cavity. Since one of the connecting frames 36 is set with an inclined structure, the inner wall can be captured better. At the same time, the ring light source 37 effectively improves the acquisition effect of the industrial image acquisition device 39 and the lens 40.

[0033] The ignition needle detection system includes an image data preprocessing module, a single-angle image feature analysis module, an image fusion module, and a quality status determination module. The image data preprocessing module is electrically connected to the single-angle image feature analysis module and the image fusion module, and both the single-angle image feature analysis module and the image fusion module are electrically connected to the quality status determination module.

[0034] The single-angle image feature analysis module includes a vertical image analysis module and a tilted image analysis module.

[0035] The image data preprocessing module is responsible for image alignment and registration, as well as image enhancement and denoising. Specifically, image alignment and registration involves spatial coordinate registration of the vertical front view image and the oblique side view image based on the coaxial positioning reference of the ignition needle, establishing a unified three-dimensional coordinate system to ensure that image data from different angles can be fused and analyzed under the same reference. Furthermore, the least squares method is used to fit the axis, and perspective distortion correction is performed on the oblique image to eliminate dimensional deviations caused by the shooting angle. Specifically, the image enhancement and denoising process involves equalizing and enhancing the contrast of the inner cavity edge of the vertical front view image by using Gaussian filtering to remove noise, highlighting dimensional features such as aperture and depth. For the oblique side view image, an adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm is used to separate side wall defects from the background, and morphological filtering is combined to remove reflections and shadow interference, thereby clearly presenting scratch and pore feature details.

[0036] The vertical image analysis module is used to measure the size of the detected ignition needle and analyze the depth defects of the detected ignition needle.

[0037] The method for measuring the size of the ignition needle is to extract the circular contour of the inner cavity through a sub-pixel edge detection algorithm, and then automatically calculate and obtain aperture parameter data, depth parameter data, and coaxiality parameter data, and transmit the obtained aperture parameter data, depth parameter data, and coaxiality parameter data to the quality status judgment module.

[0038] The method for analyzing the depth defects of the detected ignition needle is to identify the crack features and edge chipping features at the bottom of the inner cavity based on the gray-level gradient change, and to combine the deep learning model for defect classification and localization. The deep learning model is YOLOv8.

[0039] The function of the tilt image analysis module is to stitch together the tilt image data, obtain the unfolded image of the ignition needle, analyze and identify defects in the unfolded image, perform defect quantification of the defect area, and finally extract the step height parameter data, thread parameter data and pitch parameter data of the side wall, and transmit the analyzed parameter data to [the appropriate location].

[0040] The method for analyzing and identifying defects in the unfolded image is to use edge detection and texture analysis to obtain scratch defect features, pitting defect features, and coating peeling defect features in the unfolded image.

[0041] The image fusion module is used to perform feature point matching and fusion for the ignition needle, and to analyze and detect possible defect features and protrusion features through three-dimensional model analysis.

[0042] The feature point matching and fusion process for the ignition needle involves extracting common feature points from the vertical and tilted images, and then mapping the two-dimensional image features to three-dimensional space using a multi-view geometry algorithm to generate a three-dimensional point cloud model of the ignition needle cavity.

[0043] The function of the quality status judgment module is to use the parameter data of the ignition needle obtained by the single-angle image feature analysis module and the image fusion module to complete the judgment of dimensional conformity, defect severity and structural integrity based on the standard data of the ignition needle.

[0044] The quality status assessment module combines multiple dimensions such as size, defects, and structure to output a quality conclusion of qualified, reworkable, or scrapped, and generates a visual inspection report as well as the location parameter data of standard non-conformities.

[0045] The ignition needle testing method includes the following workflow: S1: Ensure a unified shooting benchmark for both vertical and tilted dual-view cameras; S2: Complete dual-view image acquisition; S3: Preprocessing and registration of dual-view image parameter data are performed through the tilt image analysis module; S4: Perform image feature analysis using the single-angle image feature analysis module; S5: Multi-view fusion and 3D reconstruction are performed through the image fusion module; S6: Quality status determination is completed through the quality status determination module; S7: Data storage and conclusion output.

[0046] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
