Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of error prevention detection, and relates to a ball pin neck error prevention mechanism, which is particularly suitable for efficient automatic production error prevention. Background Art

[0002] Similar parts with roughly the same structure can use common clamps and common inspection tools in production and manufacturing, which can reduce costs and improve efficiency. However, the differences between similar parts cannot be accurately identified, resulting in parts of different models being mistakenly installed on the product, posing the risk of quality accidents such as mixing and misinstallation.

[0003] There are a large number of similar ball pins; similar ball pins have different lengths, or differences in the presence or absence of threads, or differences in the shape and size of the ball pin neck. Currently, there are ball pin length and thread detection for ball pin error prevention, but there is a lack of ball pin neck error prevention. Efficient automated production requires a fast and accurate ball pin neck error prevention mechanism. Summary of the invention
