[0002] In modern industrial production, air conditioning pipe flanges are important components for connecting air conditioning system pipelines. The quality of their sealing performance is directly related to the normal operation and energy efficiency of the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the sealing surface of air conditioning pipe flanges meets quality standards during the production process. Traditional air conditioning pipe flange sealing surface inspection mainly relies on manual visual inspection. Inspectors need to carefully observe and judge the sealing surface of each flange to determine whether it meets quality requirements.

[0003] However, this approach that relies on manual inspection has several major problems:

[0004] Inefficiency: Manual visual inspection is slow and easily affected by inspector fatigue and lack of concentration, resulting in low inspection efficiency.

[0005] High subjectivity: Since the inspection results rely heavily on the inspector’s experience and subjective judgment, there is a large margin for error, and consistency and reliability are difficult to guarantee.

[0006] High labor intensity: Long-term visual inspection will cause great visual fatigue and physical burden to workers, affecting work quality and workers' health.

[0007] Higher cost: With the continuous increase in labor costs, inspection methods that rely on a large amount of human resources will lead to increased production costs. Utility Model Content
