After working for a certain period of time or detecting a certain number of products, the pressure sensor on the detection component 3 is calibrated by the calibration component to avoid detection errors. Specifically:

[0036] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the transmission component 2 is arranged on the machine 1, including a carrier 21, two conveyor belt components 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carrier 21, and a positioning component 23 arranged between the two conveyor belt components 22. The product to be inspected is conveyed to the carrier 21 by the conveyor belt component 22 and positioned by the positioning component 23.

[0037] The conveyor belt assembly 22 includes a conveyor belt 221. The conveyor belts 221 on the two conveyor belt assemblies 22 move synchronously, and the two ends of the jig carrying the product are respectively mounted on the two conveyor belts 221. The conveyor belt 221 is connected to the first bracket 223 through the first guide rail 222 in the Z-axis direction. The first bracket 223 is provided with a first driving device 224, and the first driving device 224 is connected to the conveyor belt 221. A plurality of first guide rails 222 can be provided to ensure the stability of the conveyor belt 221 in the Z-axis direction; the first driving device 224 can drive the conveyor belt 221 to move along the guide direction of the first guide rail 222.

The screw rod is connected to the transmission belt, and the vertical movement of the conveyor belt 221 is realized by the rotation of the screw rod; of course, the first driving device 224 can also be other forms of drive such as a cylinder.

[0038] The first bracket 223 is connected to the machine 1 through the second guide rail 225. The machine 1 is provided with a second driving device 226, which is connected to the first bracket 223 and can drive the first bracket 223 to move along the second guide rail 225, so that the two conveyor belts 221 move toward or away from each other.

[0039] There are at least two groups of positioning components 23, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the carrier 21 in the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 221. Among them, one group of positioning components 23 arranged at the downstream end of the conveyor belt in the transmission direction works when the fixture is transmitted to the top of the carrier 21 to block and position the fixture; and the positioning components 23 arranged at the upstream end of the conveyor belt 221 in the transmission direction, when the inspection work is in progress, block the fixture of the previous process from continuing to be transmitted to the carrier 21, affecting the normal inspection process.

[0042] like Figure 1, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the detection component 3 is arranged on the machine 1 and above the transmission component 2, including a Y-axis module 32, an X-axis module 33 connected to the Y-axis module 32, and a Z-axis module 34 connected to the X-axis module 33. The Z-axis module 34 is connected to a detection device 31. The detection component 3 drives the detection device 31 to the product to be detected, and the probe component 35 on the detection device 31 detects the product. The Z-axis module 34 is connected to a visual positioning device 36. The fixture carrying the product to be detected is placed on the carrier 21. When detection is required, the X-axis module 33 and the Y-axis module 32 cooperate to move, firstly position the product to be detected by the visual positioning device 36, and then move the probe component 35 to the top of the product to be detected; finally, the Z-axis module 34 drives the probe component 35 to press down the key switch of the product to be detected to complete the detection.

[0043] There can be multiple probe assemblies 35, and they can be arranged in different forms according to actual needs. The probe assembly 35 includes a pressure sensor 351 connected to the detection device 31, an elastic conduction device 352 connected to the pressure sensor 351, and a probe 353 connected to the elastic conduction device 352. The elastic conduction device 352 is barrel-shaped, and a spring 354 is arranged inside; the upper end of the probe 353 extends into the elastic conduction device 352 and is connected to the spring 354. A vertical guide groove 3521 is arranged on the elastic conduction device 352, and a guide pin 3531 is connected to the probe 353, and the guide pin 3531 is connected to the guide groove 3521. During detection, the probe 353 moves along the guide groove 3521 to compress the spring 354, and obtains the pressure value through the pressure sensor 351.

The calibration sensor 41 is driven by the first module 43 and the second module 44 to move in sequence to the bottom of the multiple weights 42, and passes through the through hole 462 upward to support the weights 42, thereby calibrating the calibration sensor 41; thereafter, driven by the first module 43 and the second module 44, the calibration sensor 41 moves to a place where there is no obstruction above it. At the same time, driven by the X-axis module 33, the Y-axis module 32 and the Z-axis module 34, the multiple probe assemblies 35 are pressed and connected to the calibration sensor 41 in sequence, and the pressure value of the calibration sensor 41 is synchronized and covered to the pressure sensor 351 of the probe assembly 35, thereby completing the calibration of the pressure sensor 351.

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the position of the weight 42 and avoid the situation where the weight 42 is tilted when the calibration sensor 41 supports the weight 42, thereby affecting the accuracy of calibration, a clamping device 47 is provided on the support plate 46, and V-shaped grooves 471 are provided on opposite sides of the two clamping jaws of the clamping device 47. When the two clamping jaws approach each other, the V-shaped groove 471 contacts the weight 42 to achieve the positioning of the weight 42, so that the weight 42 is located in the center of the limiting groove 461.
