Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of component processing technology, and in particular to a component transmission and detection system and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of precision components, transmission and inspection are crucial to ensuring product quality and production efficiency. This is especially true for miniature precision components like watch cases, where the requirements for transmission positioning accuracy, stability, and inspection precision are extremely high. As a core exterior and protective component of a watch, the watch case must meet strict tolerance standards and requirements for surface defects and the airtightness of assembly interfaces. High-precision positioning is a prerequisite for accurate inspection; otherwise, it can easily lead to inspection errors, defective products flowing into the next process, resulting in increased costs and decreased quality.

[0003] Currently, the industry mostly uses traditional mechanical positioning and simple visual positioning methods to achieve the transfer and positioning of precision components, but these methods have many drawbacks when applied to watch cases. Mechanical positioning uses clamps and limit blocks for physical limitation, but watch cases are tiny (10mm-40mm in diameter, 1mm-3mm in thickness), and often have curved surfaces, irregular edges and corners, or precision assembly slots. Rigid contact can easily cause surface scratches and wear. Furthermore, its adjustment flexibility is poor; adapting to different sizes of watch cases requires changing to special clamps, increasing production preparation time and costs, making it difficult to adapt to multi-variety, small-batch production. In addition, the accuracy of mechanical positioning is easily affected by wear and vibration; long-term use leads to accumulated errors, failing to meet micron-level positioning requirements, and consequently causing missed or false detections.

[0004] Furthermore, there are shortcomings in the connection between transmission and testing. In most devices, these two processes are set up independently. When components are transferred to the testing station, manual or simple robotic arms are required for secondary positioning, which increases labor costs and operational complexity, and is also prone to positional deviation, reducing positioning accuracy. At the same time, existing positioning systems have poor compatibility and cannot simultaneously adapt to the transmission and positioning of watch covers and multiple testing requirements. Separate positioning and testing modules are required, resulting in complex equipment structures, large space occupation, and cumbersome processes, making it difficult to achieve efficient integrated production of transmission-positioning-testing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the problem that the accuracy and efficiency of the transmission of micro-precision components need to be improved in the prior art, and to provide a component transmission and detection system and method.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer mechanism further includes a rotary driver, a rotary mounting frame, a three-dimensional transfer module, and a recognition camera. The three-dimensional transfer module is disposed on the gantry frame, the transfer carriage is slidably connected to the three-dimensional transfer module, the rotary driver is connected to the transfer carriage, and the rotary mounting frame is connected to the power output end of the rotary driver to rotate around its central axis via the rotary driver. The vehicle transfer assembly and the component transfer assembly are both disposed on the rotary mounting frame and move synchronously with the rotary mounting frame. The recognition camera is connected to one side of the transfer carriage and is positioned facing the unlocking mechanism.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the carrier transfer assembly includes a carrier transfer driver and a carrier transfer clamping arm; the component transfer assembly includes a component transfer driver and a component transfer clamping arm; the carrier transfer driver and the component transfer driver are respectively connected to the rotary mounting frame, the carrier transfer clamping arm is connected to the power output end of the carrier transfer driver to clamp the edge of the carrier, and the component transfer clamping arm is connected to the power output end of the component transfer driver to clamp the edge of the component to be transferred and detected.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection mechanism includes a detection base frame, an adjustment module, a detection platform, and a pressing component. The adjustment module is disposed on an external mounting plane, and the detection base frame is slidably connected to the adjustment module. The detection platform and the pressing component are both disposed in the detection base frame. The detection platform is connected to the top plate of the detection base frame, and its top surface has a recessed detection cavity. The element to be detected is disposed in the detection cavity.

The pressing component is disposed above the detection platform and includes a pressing driver and a pressing block. The pressing driver is connected to the top plate of the detection base frame, and the pressing block is connected to the power output end of the pressing driver and can press and seal the detection cavity.

[0015] The present invention also provides a component transfer detection method, which uses the above-mentioned component transfer detection system to perform component transfer and airtightness detection, comprising: step S1, placing the component to be tested in the carrier and clamping and fixing it by the carrier; step S2, placing the carrier containing the component in the transfer flow line, and when it moves to the buffer position, moving it to the unlocking component by the material transfer component in the unlocking mechanism; step S3, releasing the clamping and fixing of the component by the carrier by the unlocking component; step S4, moving the component to be tested to the detection mechanism by the component transfer component in the transfer mechanism, and simultaneously unloading and recycling the empty carrier by the carrier transfer component.

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] The component transmission and detection system and method described in this invention achieves integrated and efficient operation of the entire process of transmission, positioning, unlocking, transfer and detection of micro precision components through the coordinated cooperation of the carrier, transmission mechanism, unlocking mechanism, transfer mechanism and detection mechanism. It effectively solves many defects of the prior art and has significant technical advantages and practical value.

[0018] This system, by setting up a carrier with two sliding clamping components, can flexibly adjust the clamping space according to the size of the component to be tested, achieving stable clamping of micro-components such as watch covers of different specifications and shapes, avoiding offset and flipping during transmission. At the same time, the clamping components contact the edge of the component, avoiding scratches and wear caused by rigid contact to the surface of the component, ensuring the appearance and structural accuracy of the component. The transmission mechanism, through the transmission flow line and the lifting plate, drives the carrier to move smoothly, providing a stable foundation for subsequent positioning, unlocking and transfer processes, ensuring that the component stays on the preset trajectory during transmission, and improving the stability of the overall process.

[0019] The unlocking mechanism, through the cooperation of the transfer component and the unlocking component, can accurately correspond to the buffer position of the transmission flow line. By using the material-pulling rod to pass through the clamping component and achieve relative movement, the clamping component is unlocked, achieving precise separation of the component from the carrier. The unlocking process is synchronized with the movement of the transfer arm, ensuring a smooth connection between the unlocking and transfer actions and preventing the component from shifting position after unlocking. The transfer mechanism, through a gantry frame with a transfer carriage that can slide in both horizontal and vertical directions, and with both carrier transfer components and component transfer components, can achieve independent transfer of the carrier and the component. It can accurately transfer the unlocked component to the detection range of the detection mechanism, and can also transfer the empty carrier back to the transmission flow line for recycling, greatly improving transfer efficiency and space utilization. Furthermore, the component transfer component clamps the edge of the component, further avoiding contact with the component's detection surface and precision structure, ensuring the integrity of the component's state before detection. The testing and transportation mechanisms work together to ensure that components are accurately transported and directly enter the testing range without the need for manual or simple robotic arms for secondary positioning. This effectively eliminates positional deviations caused by secondary positioning, significantly improves testing accuracy, and achieves seamless integration of transmission, unlocking, transportation, and testing processes. This reduces waiting time between processes and significantly improves overall production efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the system features a compact and highly interconnected design, allowing for flexible adjustment of the clamping component spacing, transport trajectory, and testing parameters based on the specifications of the components to be tested. This adapts to the needs of multi-variety, small-batch production, reducing production preparation time and equipment modification costs. Simultaneously, the entire process employs non-contact or edge-contact operation, maximizing the protection of the precision and integrity of miniature precision components such as watch covers. This effectively reduces the defect rate and minimizes production cost waste, comprehensively improving the automation and intelligence level of precision component transmission and testing. It perfectly meets the current precision manufacturing industry's demand for high-precision, high-efficiency, and highly compatible production, demonstrating promising prospects for widespread application.

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0037] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 13As shown, this embodiment provides a component transfer and detection system, which includes: a carrier 100, the carrier 100 including a housing 110 and two clamping assemblies 120, the two clamping assemblies 120 being slidably connected inside the housing 110, and a clamping space 130 between the two clamping assemblies 120, the component to be transferred and detected being disposed in the clamping space 130; a transfer mechanism 200, the transfer mechanism 200 including a transfer flow line 210, the carrier 100 moving along the transfer flow line 210; and an unlocking mechanism 300. The unlocking mechanism 300 includes an assembly frame 310, a material transfer component 320, and an unlocking component 330. The assembly frame 310 is supported above the transport flow line 210 and is positioned corresponding to the buffer position of the transport flow line 210. The material transfer component 320 is disposed on the top surface of the assembly frame 310 and includes a material transfer clamping arm 323 that can move along the width direction of the transport flow line 210. The unlocking component 330 is located on the moving path of the material transfer clamping arm 323 and includes a lifting frame 333 and two material-pulling rods 336. The lifting frame 333 can move along the vertical direction. The two material-pulling rods 336 are slidably connected to the assembly frame 310 in a straight direction. Both rods are mounted on the assembly frame 310 and can be respectively connected to the two clamping assemblies 120. The two material-pulling rods 336 can move relative to each other to move the two clamping assemblies 120 closer to each other or further away. A transfer mechanism 400 includes a gantry frame 410, a transfer carriage 430, a carrier transfer assembly 460, and a component transfer assembly 470. The gantry frame 410 is supported above the unlocking mechanism 300. The transfer carriage 430... The carrier 100 can be slidably connected to the gantry 410 in the horizontal and / or vertical directions. The carrier transfer assembly 460 and the component transfer assembly 470 are respectively disposed on the transfer carriage 430. The carrier transfer assembly 460 can clamp the edge of the carrier 100, and the component transfer assembly 470 can clamp the edge of the component to be transferred and tested. The detection mechanism 500 is disposed on one side of the transfer mechanism 400. The component to be transferred and tested enters the detection range of the detection mechanism 500 through the component transfer assembly 470.

[0038] In this embodiment, the carrier 100 serves as the component for carrying and clamping the components, forming the foundation for stable component transmission throughout the system. Its core consists of a housing 110 and two clamping assemblies 120 slidably connected within the housing 110. A clamping space 130 is formed between the two clamping assemblies 120 for placing the component to be transmitted and tested. The micro-component, such as a watch cover, is placed within this clamping space 130. The two clamping assemblies 120 can slide along the interior of the housing 110, moving closer or further apart. The size of the clamping space 130 can be flexibly adjusted according to components of different specifications and shapes, accommodating various sizes of micro-precision components. Simultaneously, the clamping assemblies 120 only contact the edges of the components, avoiding rigid compression or scratches on the testing surfaces and precision structures of the components. This ensures the appearance and structural accuracy of the components, prevents displacement or flipping during transmission, and ensures that the components are in a preset initial position when transmitted to subsequent processes, providing a guarantee for the accurate execution of subsequent unlocking, transfer, and testing processes.

[0039] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 120 in this embodiment includes a moving block 121 and an elastic element 122. The bottom of the housing 110 is provided with an unlocking channel 111 extending along the moving direction of the clamping assembly 120. The elastic element 122 abuts against the moving block 121 and the inner wall of the housing 110, and is preferably a compression spring. The bottom surface of the moving block 121 is provided with a connecting hole 123 communicating with the unlocking channel 111. The push rod 336 can be inserted into the connecting hole 123 and drive the moving block 121 to move along the unlocking channel 111. The movable block 121, as the core actuator of the clamping assembly 120, directly contacts the edge of the micro-components such as the watch cover to be transmitted and tested, achieving a stable clamping of the component. The elastic element 122 abuts against the movable block 121 and the inner wall of the housing 110, and can use its own elastic force to push the two movable blocks 121 closer together, providing a continuous clamping force for the clamping space 130. This ensures that the component will not shift or flip due to transmission vibration or trajectory fluctuations during the movement of the carrier 100 driven by the transmission mechanism 200. Meanwhile, the elastic clamping method avoids scratches and wear on the surface of micro-components caused by rigid clamping, ensuring the appearance and structural accuracy of the components, and can adapt to components of different thicknesses and shapes, improving the adaptability of the clamping assembly 120; the unlocking channel 111 extending from the bottom of the housing 110 along the moving direction of the clamping assembly 120 provides a precise guide path for the insertion and movement of the feeding rod 336, ensuring that the feeding rod 336 can move smoothly in the preset direction, and the bottom surface of the moving block 121 has an opening that communicates with the unlocking channel 111. The connecting hole 123 allows for precise connection between the push rod 336 and the moving block 121. When the lifting frame 333 of the unlocking mechanism 300 lowers the push rod 336 and inserts it into the connecting hole 123, the two push rods 336 move relative to each other. This movement, via the connecting hole 123, drives the moving block 121 to move synchronously along the unlocking channel 111. This overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 122, causing the two clamping components 120 to move away from each other, releasing the clamping state on the component. This achieves precise and stable separation of the component from the carrier 100, facilitating subsequent transfer. The conveying mechanism 400 facilitates the gripping of components, while the guiding function of the unlocking channel 111 prevents misalignment between the feeding rod 336 and the moving block 121, ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of the unlocking action. The reset function of the elastic element 122 can push the moving block 121 to automatically reset after the feeding rod 336 disengages from the connecting hole 123, so that the clamping assembly 120 returns to the initial clamping state. This facilitates the clamping of the next batch of components when the carrier 100 is used repeatedly, effectively improving the automation level and operational stability of the entire system.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 200 is the core component for realizing the batch and orderly transmission of the carrier 100 and components. It consists of a transmission flow line 210 and multiple lifting plates 250. The carrier 100 can carry the components to be tested and move smoothly along the transmission flow line 210. The transmission flow line 210 provides a stable movement trajectory for the carrier 100, ensuring that the carrier 100 passes through each process station in sequence according to the preset path. The lifting plates 250 are evenly arranged on the transmission flow line 210 to support the carrier 100 and prevent the carrier 100 from shaking or jamming during transmission. At the same time, they can be coordinated with the running rhythm of the transmission flow line 210 to realize the intermittent movement of the carrier 100, accurately delivering the carrier 100 to the buffer position, providing a precise positional basis for the subsequent operation of the unlocking mechanism 300, ensuring the smooth connection between each process, and improving the overall transmission efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 200 also includes a feed detector 230 and two lateral positioning members 220. The lateral positioning members 220 and the feed detector 230 are both disposed at the feed end of the transmission flow line 210. The two lateral positioning members 220 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the width direction of the transmission flow line 210 to limit the carrier 100. The detection end of the feed detector 230 is disposed facing the transmission flow line 210. Two lateral positioning components 220 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width of the conveyor flow line 210. They can precisely limit the lateral movement of the carrier 100 entering the conveyor flow line 210, effectively correcting problems such as left and right deviation and tilting of the carrier 100 during the feeding process. This ensures that the carrier 100 moves smoothly along the preset trajectory of the conveyor flow line 210, preventing the carrier 100 from affecting the precise docking of the subsequent unlocking mechanism 300 and transfer mechanism 400 due to positional deviation. At the same time, the symmetrical limiting structure can ensure that the carrier 100 is subjected to uniform force, preventing the carrier 100 from jamming or being damaged during the limiting process, further improving the stability of the carrier 100's transmission. The detection end of the feed detector 230 is set towards the conveyor flow line 210, which can detect in real time whether the carrier 100 has entered the feed end. It can accurately identify the feeding status of carrier 100. When carrier 100 is detected to be in place, it can send a signal to the system control system, thereby controlling the movement rhythm of the transmission flow line 210 and the lateral positioning component 220. This enables the carrier 100 to feed and coordinate with subsequent transmission and limiting actions, avoiding situations such as carrier 100 accumulation or missed transmission. At the same time, it can help determine whether the feeding position of carrier 100 meets the preset requirements. If abnormal feeding of carrier 100 is detected, it can issue a prompt in time, which is convenient for staff to make timely adjustments and ensure the orderliness of the entire transmission process. It provides a reliable position guarantee for the subsequent accurate delivery of carrier 100 to the buffer position and the unlocking mechanism 300 to carry out unlocking operations, further improving the automation, intelligence and operational reliability of the component transmission and detection system.

[0042] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 200 includes a lifting driver 240 and a lifting plate 250. The lifting driver 240 is set at a buffer position corresponding to the transmission flow line 210. The lifting plate 250 is connected to the power output end of the lifting driver 240 and can be inserted above the transmission flow line 210 to lift the carrier 100 away from the transmission flow line 210. The lifting actuator 240, as a power output component, provides stable power for the lifting plate 250's lifting action. It can precisely control the lifting height and speed of the lifting plate 250 according to system control signals, ensuring smooth and controllable lifting action. The lifting plate 250 is connected to the power output end of the lifting actuator 240 and, driven by the lifting actuator 240, can be extended upwards above the transmission line 210, lifting the carrier 100 carrying the component to be tested from the transmission line 210, completely separating the carrier 100 from the transmission line 210. This prevents the transmission line 210's vibration from being transmitted to the carrier 100, ensuring the carrier 100 is stationary and stable at the buffer position. This provides precise positioning for the unlocking mechanism 300's push rod 336 to pass through the connecting hole 123 and drive the clamping assembly 120 to unlock, preventing damage caused by the load. The shaking of the carrier 100 causes the unlocking action to deviate or fail. At the same time, after the carrier 100 is lifted, it can be at a suitable height with the various components of the unlocking mechanism 300, which facilitates the initial positioning of the components by the transfer clamp arm 323 and improves the smoothness of the connection between the unlocking and transfer actions. After the unlocking and transfer operations are completed, the lifting driver 240 can drive the lifting plate 250 to descend and smoothly place the empty carrier 100 back into the transmission flow line 210, so that the carrier 100 can circulate with the transmission flow line 210. This structure achieves stable positioning and rapid switching of the carrier 100 at the buffer position through precise lifting and lowering actions, effectively connecting the transmission process and the unlocking process, improving the operation accuracy and efficiency of the entire system, and avoiding continuous contact between the carrier 100 and the transmission flow line 210, reducing wear on the carrier 100 and extending its service life. In different implementations, the number of buffer sites can be adaptively adjusted according to actual practical needs. Correspondingly, the number of lifting drivers 240 and lifting plates 250 can also be adjusted accordingly. The present invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0043] In this embodiment, the unlocking mechanism 300, as a key component connecting the transmission and transfer processes, is positioned above the transmission flow line 210 and corresponds to the buffer point. Its core consists of an assembly frame 310, a material transfer component 320, and an unlocking component 330. It primarily unlocks the clamping component 120 of the carrier 100 and performs initial material transfer and positioning of the components. The assembly frame 310 provides support and a mounting base for the material transfer component 320 and the unlocking component 330, ensuring accurate installation and stable operation of each component.

[0044] The transfer component 320 is located on the top surface of the assembly frame 310. Its transfer gripper 323, which can move along the width direction of the transfer flow line 210, can initially limit the position of the component after unlocking to prevent the component from shifting position after unlocking. At the same time, it can cooperate with the action of the unlocking component 330 to adjust the position of the component, providing convenience for the subsequent gripping by the transfer mechanism 400.

[0045] Furthermore, the material transfer assembly 320 includes a material transfer track 321 and a material transfer carriage 322. The material transfer track 321 is disposed on the top surface of the assembly frame 310 and extends along the width direction of the transmission flow line 210. The material transfer carriage 322 is slidably connected to the material transfer track 321. A material transfer driver that drives the material transfer clamping arm 323 to open and close relative to each other is disposed on the material transfer carriage 322. The material transfer clamping arm 323 is connected to the power output end of the material transfer driver. The transfer track 321 provides a precise guide path for the movement of the transfer carriage 322, ensuring that the transfer carriage 322 can slide smoothly along a preset direction, avoiding deviation during movement and ensuring the accuracy of the transfer action. The transfer carriage 322 can drive the transfer driver and the transfer clamp arm 323 on it to move synchronously along the transfer track 321. It can flexibly adjust the position of the transfer clamp arm 323 according to the position of the carrier 100 at the buffer point and the specifications of the component, so that the transfer clamp arm 323 accurately corresponds to the unlocked component, adapting to the transfer needs of components of different specifications and improving the adaptability of the transfer assembly 320. The transfer driver is set on the transfer carriage 322 as a power output component, which can drive the transfer clamp arm 323 to achieve relative opening and closing action. By precisely controlling the opening and closing range, the transfer clamp arm 323 can stably clamp the unlocked component. The clamping mechanism is designed to prevent damage to components by carefully controlling the gripping force at the component's edge. The clamping force can be flexibly adjusted according to the component's size to ensure stability and safety. The transfer arm 323 is connected to the power output of the transfer driver, opening and closing under its drive. Combined with the movement of the transfer carriage 322, it smoothly moves the unlocked component from the clamping space 130 of the carrier 100 and adjusts it to a preset position, providing a precise positioning basis for the subsequent gripping by the transfer mechanism 400. This prevents positional shifts after unlocking, ensuring smooth connection between the transfer and transport actions. Furthermore, through the coordinated operation of guidance, movement, and drive, this structure achieves automated and precise control of the transfer action, effectively improving the linkage between the unlocking mechanism 300 and the transfer mechanism 400, further optimizing the overall system's operational efficiency and accuracy.

[0046] In this embodiment, the unlocking component 330 consists of a lifting frame 333 and two material-pulling rods 336. The lifting frame 333 can slide vertically and drive the material-pulling rods 336 to achieve lifting and lowering actions, so that the material-pulling rods 336 can be accurately inserted into the two clamping components 120 connected to the carrier 100. The two material-pulling rods 336 can move relative to each other, thereby driving the two clamping components 120 to move away from each other, releasing the clamping state of the component, realizing the accurate separation of the component from the carrier 100, providing the prerequisite for the subsequent transfer mechanism 400 to grasp the component, and the unlocking process is accurate and stable, avoiding damage to the component.

[0047] Furthermore, the unlocking assembly 330 includes a fixing plate 331, a lifting driver 332, a supporting top frame 334, and an unlocking driver 335. The fixing plate 331 is connected to the side wall of the assembly frame 310. The lifting driver 332 is disposed on the fixing plate 331. The lifting frame 333 is connected to the power output end of the lifting driver 332. The supporting top frame 334 is connected to the top of the lifting frame 333 and extends horizontally to support the carrier 100 transmitted by the material transfer assembly 320. The unlocking driver 335 is connected to the lifting frame 333. The material pusher 336 is connected to the power output end of the unlocking driver 335 and can pass through the supporting top frame 334 and then be connected to the clamping assembly 120. The fixed plate 331 provides a stable mounting base for the lifting driver 332, ensuring accurate installation and no shaking during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability of subsequent lifting actions. The lifting driver 332, as the power source for the lifting action, can precisely drive the lifting frame 333 to slide smoothly vertically. By controlling the lifting height, it drives the supporting top frame 334 and the material-pulling rod 336 to rise and fall synchronously, achieving precise docking between the material-pulling rod 336 and the clamping assembly 120 of the carrier 100. Simultaneously, the lifting stroke can be flexibly adjusted according to the lifting height of the carrier 100 to adapt to the unlocking requirements of different specifications of carriers 100. The supporting top frame 334 is connected to the top of the lifting frame 333 and extends horizontally. After rising to a preset height under the drive of the lifting frame 333, it provides auxiliary support for the carrier 100 transferred by the material-moving assembly 320, further improving the stability of the carrier 100 during the unlocking process and preventing tilting or shaking of the carrier 100 due to uneven force. The device provides a height reference for the material-pulling rod 336 to pass through the clamping assembly 120, ensuring that the material-pulling rod 336 can accurately pass through the support top frame 334 and connect with the clamping assembly 120. The unlocking driver 335 is set on the lifting frame 333, providing power for the relative movement of the material-pulling rod 336. It can accurately control the movement direction and stroke of the two material-pulling rods 336, driving the material-pulling rod 336 to pass through the support top frame 334 and connect with the connection hole 123 of the clamping assembly 120. Then, by driving the material-pulling rod 336 to move relative to each other, it overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 122 and drives the clamping assembly 120 to move away from each other, completing the unlocking action of the component. After unlocking, the material-pulling rod 336 can be driven to reset, making it easy for the clamping assembly 120 to return to its initial state. This structure realizes the automation and precise control of the unlocking action through the coordinated cooperation of various components, improves the smoothness and stability of the unlocking operation, effectively connects the transmission, material transfer and transfer processes, and further optimizes the operation accuracy and efficiency of the entire system.

[0048] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 400 is the core component for separating and transferring components from the carrier 100, and connecting the unlocking and testing processes. It consists of a gantry 410, a transfer carriage 430, a carrier transfer assembly 460, and a component transfer assembly 470, enabling independent and precise transfer of the carrier 100 and components. The gantry 410 is supported above the unlocking mechanism 300, providing a stable support structure for the movement of the transfer carriage 430. The transfer carriage 430 can slide horizontally and vertically connected to the gantry 410, driving the carrier transfer assembly 460 and component transfer assembly 470 to move in multiple directions and precisely adjust the gripping and placement positions. The carrier transfer assembly 460 can clamp the edge of the carrier 100, and after the components are unlocked and separated, it transfers the empty carrier 100 from the buffer point back to the initial end or designated position of the transmission flow line 210, realizing the independent and precise transfer of the carrier 100. The component transfer assembly 470 can be reused to reduce equipment operating costs and improve space utilization. It can hold the edge of the component to be tested, accurately grab the unlocked component from the clamping space 130 of the carrier 100, and transfer it to the testing range of the testing mechanism 500. It only contacts the edge of the component throughout the process, avoiding contact with the testing surface and precision structure of the component, ensuring the integrity of the component's state before testing. At the same time, the precise transfer action eliminates the positional deviation caused by secondary positioning by manual or simple robotic arms, providing a guarantee for the high-precision testing of the testing mechanism 500.

[0049] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 400 also includes a rotary driver 440, a rotary mounting frame 450, a three-dimensional transfer module 420, and a recognition camera 480. The three-dimensional transfer module 420 is disposed on the gantry frame 410, and the transfer carriage 430 is slidably connected to the three-dimensional transfer module 420. The rotary driver 440 is connected to the transfer carriage 430, and the rotary mounting frame 450 is connected to the power output end of the rotary driver 440 so that it can rotate around its central axis via the rotary driver 440. The vehicle transfer assembly 460 and the component transfer assembly 470 are both disposed on the rotary mounting frame 450 and move synchronously with the rotary mounting frame 450. The recognition camera 480 is connected to one side of the transfer carriage 430 and is positioned towards the unlocking mechanism 300. The three-dimensional transfer module 420, mounted on the gantry 410, provides precise horizontal and vertical movement guidance and power for the transfer carriage 430. This allows the transfer carriage 430 to achieve multi-dimensional, high-precision displacement, flexibly adjusting the positions of the carrier transfer assembly 460, component transfer assembly 470, and recognition camera 480 to adapt to the docking requirements of different workstations and ensure precise and controllable transfer actions. The rotary driver 440, connected to the transfer carriage 430, serves as a rotational power source, driving the rotary mounting frame 450 to rotate precisely around its central axis. This, in turn, causes the carrier transfer assembly 460 and component transfer assembly 470 mounted on the rotary mounting frame 450 to rotate synchronously. This allows for flexible adjustment of the components based on their placement after unlocking and the detection angle requirements of the detection mechanism 500. The placement angle of the components can be adjusted, and the working positions of the carrier transfer assembly 460 and the component transfer assembly 470 can be switched simultaneously to achieve rapid switching between empty carrier 100 transfer and component transfer, improving transfer efficiency and space utilization. The recognition camera 480 is connected to one side of the transfer carriage 430 and is set towards the unlocking mechanism 300. It can collect the position and posture image information of the carrier 100 and components at the unlocking mechanism 300 in real time, accurately identify the placement status and edge position of the components and the positioning reference of the carrier 100, and feed the recognition results back to the system control system to provide data support for the movement adjustment of the three-dimensional transfer module 420 and the rotary driver 440, realize the precise positioning and adaptive adjustment of the transfer action, and avoid the failure of grasping or damage to the components due to component posture deviation or position deviation. This structure achieves integrated control of position adjustment, posture adjustment and visual recognition during the transfer process through the coordinated linkage of various components. It effectively solves the problems of poor adaptability and insufficient positioning accuracy of traditional transfer mechanisms 400, ensuring that components can be accurately and stably transferred to the detection range of the detection mechanism 500. At the same time, it realizes the efficient cyclic transfer of the empty carrier 100, further improving the automation, intelligence level and operational stability of the entire component transfer and detection system.

[0050] Specifically, the carrier transfer assembly 460 includes a carrier transfer driver 461 and a carrier transfer clamping arm 462; the component transfer assembly 470 includes a component transfer driver 471 and a component transfer clamping arm 472; the carrier transfer driver 461 and the component transfer driver 471 are respectively connected to the rotary mounting frame 450, the carrier transfer clamping arm 462 is connected to the power output end of the carrier transfer driver 461 to clamp the edge of the carrier 100, and the component transfer clamping arm 472 is connected to the power output end of the component transfer driver 471 to clamp the edge of the component to be transferred and tested. The carrier transfer driver 461 and the component transfer driver 471 are respectively connected to the rotary mounting bracket 450, serving as the power output components for their respective clamping arms. They can precisely control the opening and closing actions and clamping force of the corresponding clamping arms, flexibly adjusting the opening and closing range according to the size specifications of the edges of the carrier 100 and the components, ensuring smooth and controllable clamping actions. They can also coordinate with the rotation of the rotary mounting bracket 450 to achieve flexible switching between clamping positions and working angles. The carrier transfer clamping arm 462 is connected to the power output end of the carrier transfer driver 461, opening and closing under the driver's drive. It can precisely clamp the edges of the carrier 100. After the components are unlocked and separated, the empty carrier 100 is smoothly transferred from the buffer point back to the designated position on the transport flow line 210, enabling the recycling of the carrier 100, reducing equipment operating costs. Furthermore, clamping only the edges of the carrier 100 avoids damage to the clamping structure of the carrier 100, ensuring the repeatability of the carrier 100. Precision is achieved through the component transfer gripper 472, which is connected to the power output of the component transfer driver 471. It is also driven by the driver to open and close, specifically designed to grip the edges of components to be transferred and tested. It avoids contact with the testing surface and precision structure of the components throughout the process, effectively preventing scratches and wear caused during gripping and ensuring the integrity of the components before testing. Simultaneously, it can work in conjunction with the 3D transfer module 420 and the rotary driver 440 to precisely grasp and transfer the unlocked components to the testing range of the testing mechanism 500, ensuring the components are in the precise position and orientation required for testing. This structure, through two independent drive and gripping components, achieves synchronous operation of the carrier 100 transfer and component transfer without interference, significantly improving transfer efficiency and accuracy. It further optimizes the linkage effect between the transfer mechanism 400, the unlocking mechanism 300, and the testing mechanism 500, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire system.

[0051] In this embodiment, the inspection mechanism 500, as the core inspection component of the system, is located on one side of the transfer mechanism 400. It is primarily used to perform various precision inspections on components transferred to its inspection range, including dimensional tolerances, geometric tolerances, surface defects, and assembly interface accuracy. The inspection mechanism 500 can receive components in a precisely positioned state from the transfer mechanism 400, eliminating the need for secondary positioning and directly performing inspection operations. This significantly improves inspection accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the inspection results from the inspection mechanism 500 can serve as a basis for product quality judgment, effectively screening out unqualified products and preventing them from entering the next process, thus ensuring product quality, reducing production costs, and achieving integrated operation of component transmission, unlocking, transfer, and inspection in collaboration with the transfer mechanism 400.

[0052] Specifically, the testing mechanism 500 includes a testing base frame 510, an adjustment module 520, a testing platform 530, and a pressing component 540. The adjustment module 520 is disposed on an external mounting plane, and the testing base frame 510 is slidably connected to the adjustment module 520. The testing platform 530 and the pressing component 540 are both disposed within the testing base frame 510. The testing platform 530 is connected to the top plate of the testing base frame 510, and its top surface has a recessed design. The detection chamber 531 contains the element to be tested. The side wall of the detection chamber 531 is connected to an external negative pressure generating device through a negative pressure connector 532. The pressing assembly 540 is located above the detection platform 530 and includes a pressing driver 541 and a pressing block 542. The pressing driver 541 is connected to the top plate of the detection base 510, and the pressing block 542 is connected to the power output end of the pressing driver 541 and can press and seal the detection chamber 531.The adjustment module 520 provides sliding support and movement guidance for the detection base 510, enabling the overall movement of the detection base 510 and flexibly adjusting the position of the detection mechanism 500. This allows the detection platform 530 to precisely align with the component transfer position of the transfer mechanism 400, adapting to the testing requirements of components of different specifications and facilitating subsequent equipment maintenance and position calibration. The detection base 510, as a core supporting component, provides a stable mounting foundation for the detection platform 530 and the pressing assembly 540, ensuring accurate installation positions and no shaking during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability of the testing operation. The detection platform 530 is connected to the top plate of the detection base 510. Its recessed detection cavity 531 precisely limits the movement of the component to be tested, ensuring it is in the preset testing position and preventing displacement during testing. The side wall of the detection cavity 531 is connected to an external negative pressure generating device via a negative pressure connector 532, generating negative pressure suction after the component is placed in the detection cavity 531, further adsorbing and fixing the component, ensuring the component is firmly attached to the detection cavity 531. The design ensures a tight fit while avoiding damage to components caused by rigid fixation, thus guaranteeing testing accuracy. The pressing assembly 540 is positioned above the testing stage 530, with the pressing driver 541 connected to the top plate of the testing base 510. As a power output component, it drives the pressing block 542 to move smoothly in the vertical direction. The pressing block 542 is connected to the power output end of the pressing driver 541, which can accurately press and seal the testing cavity 531. On the one hand, it can further fix the components and prevent them from shifting due to external forces or equipment vibration during the testing process. On the other hand, it can form a sealed testing environment to avoid interference from external dust and airflow with the testing results. At the same time, the pressing stroke and force can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the components to adapt to the testing needs of components of different specifications. Through the coordinated cooperation of various components, this structure achieves precise positioning, stable fixation, and the construction of a sealed testing environment before component testing, which greatly improves the testing accuracy and stability. It effectively adapts to the various accuracy testing needs of micro precision components such as watch covers, and further improves the integrated operation process of the entire transmission and testing system.

[0053] Example 2: This example provides a component transfer detection method, which uses the component transfer detection system described in Example 1 to perform component transfer and airtightness detection, and includes:

[0054] Step S1: Place the component to be tested in the carrier 100 and clamp it in place. The housing 110 of the carrier 100 provides a mounting and sliding base for the clamping assembly 120. The moving block 121 in the clamping assembly 120 directly contacts the edge of the component. The elastic element 122 abuts against the moving block 121 and the inner wall of the housing 110. The elastic force pushes the two moving blocks 121 closer together, providing a continuous and gentle clamping force for the component. This ensures that the component will not shift or flip due to vibration or trajectory fluctuations during subsequent transmission, and also avoids scratches and wear on the surface and precision structure of the component caused by rigid clamping, thus ensuring the integrity of the component's initial state. At the same time, the size of the clamping space 130 can be flexibly adjusted according to the component specifications to adapt to the clamping requirements of various types of components, laying the foundation for the accurate implementation of subsequent transmission, unlocking, and testing processes.

[0055] Step S2: The carrier 100 containing the components is placed in the transport flow line 210. When it moves to the buffer position, it is moved to the unlocking component 330 by the material transfer component 320 in the unlocking mechanism 300. In this step, the carrier 100 containing the components is placed in the transport flow line 210. The transport flow line 210 of the transport mechanism 200 provides a preset movement trajectory for the carrier 100. The lifting plate 250 supports the carrier 100 to move smoothly along the transport flow line 210. The feeding detector 230 detects the feeding status of the carrier 100 in real time. The lateral positioning component 220 laterally limits the carrier 100 to correct the offset and tilting problems of the carrier 100 during feeding and movement, and ensure that the carrier 100 moves accurately to the buffer position. When the carrier 100 reaches the buffer position, the lifting driver 240 drives the lifting plate 250 to lift the carrier 100 away from the transport flow line 210, avoiding transmission vibration from affecting subsequent operations. Then, the material transfer component 320 in the unlocking mechanism 300 is activated. The material transfer track 321 provides guidance for the material transfer carriage 322. The material transfer carriage 322 drives the material transfer clamp arm 323 to move along the width direction of the transport flow line 210. The material transfer driver drives the material transfer clamp arm 323 to open and close, accurately moving the carrier 100 from the buffer position to the support top frame 334 of the unlocking component 330. The support top frame 334 provides auxiliary support for the carrier 100, further improving the stability of the carrier 100, realizing the precise connection between the transmission process and the unlocking process, and providing reliable position guarantee for subsequent unlocking actions.

[0056] Step S3: Release the clamping and fixing of the component by the carrier 100 through the unlocking component 330. In this step, the carrier 100 releases the clamping and fixing of the component through the unlocking component 330. The lifting driver 332 of the unlocking component 330 drives the lifting frame 333 to raise the material-pulling rod 336 and the supporting top frame 334 simultaneously, so that the material-pulling rod 336 accurately passes through the supporting top frame 334 and inserts into the connection hole 123 of the clamping component 120 of the carrier 100. Then, the unlocking driver 335 drives the two material-pulling rods 336 to move relative to each other, causing the moving block 121 of the clamping component 120 to move along the unlocking channel 111 at the bottom of the housing 110, overcoming the elastic force of the elastic element 122 and making the two clamping components 120 move away from each other, thereby releasing the clamping of the component and realizing the precise and stable separation of the component from the carrier 100. During this process, the fixed plate 331 provides a stable mounting base for the lifting driver 332, ensuring that the lifting and unlocking actions are precise and controllable, avoiding damage to components during the unlocking process. At the same time, the unlocking action works in coordination with the transfer component 320 to prevent the components from shifting position after unlocking, thus preparing for subsequent transfer actions.

[0057] Step S4: The component to be tested is moved to the testing mechanism 500 via the component transfer assembly 470 in the transfer mechanism 400. Simultaneously, the empty carrier 100 is unloaded and recycled via the carrier transfer assembly 460. In this step, the transfer mechanism 400 is activated, the three-dimensional transfer module 420 drives the transfer carriage 430 to move, and the recognition camera 480 collects the position and posture information of the unlocked component, providing accurate data support for the transfer action. The rotary driver 440 drives the rotary mounting bracket 450 to rotate, adjusting the working angle of the component transfer assembly 470. The component transfer driver 471 drives the component transfer clamp arm 472 to open and close, accurately clamping the edge of the component, picking up the unlocked component to be tested from the carrier 100, and transferring it to the testing platform 530 of the testing mechanism 500. The adjustment module 520 of the testing mechanism 500 can adjust the position of the testing base 510, so that the testing platform 530 can be precisely aligned with the transfer position. After the component is placed into the testing cavity 531 of the testing platform 530, the negative pressure connector 532 connects to an external negative pressure device to generate negative pressure suction, which adsorbs and fixes the component. The pressure driver 541 drives the pressure block 542 to press and seal the testing cavity 531, creating a closed testing environment and completing the airtightness test of the component. At the same time, the carrier transfer assembly 460 operates synchronously. The carrier transfer driver 461 drives the carrier transfer clamp arm 462 to open and close, clamping the edge of the empty carrier 100 and transferring it from the unlocking assembly 330 back to the unloading end or initial end of the transmission flow line 210, realizing the recycling of the carrier 100 and reducing equipment operating costs. This step enables the simultaneous operation of component transfer and inspection with the recovery of the empty carrier 100, effectively improving operational efficiency. At the same time, the coordinated cooperation of various structures ensures accurate component transfer and stable inspection, avoids damage to components throughout the process, and guarantees inspection accuracy.

[0058] In summary, the component transmission and detection system and method described in this invention, through the coordinated operation of the carrier 100, transmission mechanism 200, unlocking mechanism 300, transfer mechanism 400 and detection mechanism 500, realizes the integrated and efficient operation of the entire process of transmission, positioning, unlocking, transfer and detection of micro precision components, effectively solves many defects of the prior art, and has significant technical advantages and practical value.

[0059] The system, by setting up a carrier 100 with two sliding clamping components 120, can flexibly adjust the clamping space 130 according to the size of the component to be tested, so as to achieve stable clamping of micro components such as watch covers of different specifications and shapes, avoiding deviation and flipping during the transmission process. At the same time, the clamping components 120 contact the edge of the component, avoiding scratches and wear caused by rigid contact to the surface of the component, and ensuring the appearance and structural accuracy of the component. The transmission mechanism 200, through the transmission flow line 210 and the lifting plate 250, drives the carrier 100 to move smoothly, providing a stable foundation for subsequent positioning, unlocking and transfer processes, ensuring that the component is always on the preset trajectory during the transmission process, and improving the stability of the overall process.

[0060] The unlocking mechanism 300, through the cooperation of the transfer component 320 and the unlocking component 330, can accurately correspond to the buffer position of the transmission flow line 210. The material-pulling rod 336 passes through the clamping component 120 and achieves relative movement, completing the unlocking action of the clamping component 120 and realizing precise separation of the component from the carrier 100. The unlocking process is synchronized with the movement of the transfer clamping arm 323, ensuring smooth connection between the unlocking and transfer actions and preventing component positional shift after unlocking. The transfer mechanism 400, through the gantry frame 410, can move along horizontal and vertical directions... The sliding transfer carriage 430 is equipped with both a carrier transfer assembly 460 and a component transfer assembly 470, enabling independent transfer of the carrier 100 and the component. This allows for precise transfer of unlocked components to the detection range of the detection mechanism 500, and also allows the empty carrier 100 to be transferred back to the transport flow line 210 for reuse, significantly improving transfer efficiency and space utilization. Furthermore, the component transfer assembly 470 clamps the edge of the component, further preventing contact with the component's detection surface and precision structure, ensuring the integrity of the component's state before detection. The detection mechanism 500 and the transfer mechanism 400 work together, allowing components to directly enter the detection range after precise transfer, eliminating the need for manual or simple robotic arm secondary positioning. This effectively eliminates positional deviations caused by secondary positioning, significantly improving detection accuracy. Simultaneously, it achieves seamless integration of the transmission, unlocking, transfer, and detection processes, reducing waiting time between processes and significantly improving overall production efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, the system features a compact and highly interconnected design, allowing for flexible adjustment of the clamping assembly spacing, transport trajectory, and testing parameters based on the specifications of the components to be tested. This adapts to the needs of multi-variety, small-batch production, reducing production preparation time and equipment modification costs. Simultaneously, the entire process employs non-contact or edge-contact operation, maximizing the protection of the precision and integrity of miniature precision components such as watch covers. This effectively reduces the defect rate and minimizes production cost waste, comprehensively improving the automation and intelligence level of precision component transmission and testing. It perfectly meets the current precision manufacturing industry's demand for high-precision, high-efficiency, and highly compatible production, demonstrating promising prospects for widespread application.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
