DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0037] A non-destructive molding detection device for automobile injection molded parts includes a base 1, a first motion mechanism 2, a second motion mechanism 3, a third motion mechanism 4, and a clamping mechanism 5 arranged on the third motion mechanism 4, wherein the first motion mechanism 2 is arranged on the base 1, and the second motion mechanism 3 is vertically arranged on the second motion mechanism 3 to drive the clamping mechanism 5 to move up and down, and the clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp automobile injection molded parts; the clamping mechanism 5 includes a connecting part 6, a fixing part 7 and a clamping part 8; the fixing part 7 is connected to the third motion mechanism 4; the connecting part 6 is connected to the clamping part 8; the clamping part 8 adopts a quick-change structure to facilitate the quick replacement of the clamping part 8 to adapt to different injection molded parts. The design of the clamping mechanism 5 of the present application adopts a modular and quickly replaceable clamping part 8, which enables the device to adapt to automobile injection molded parts of different shapes and sizes. The quick-change structure of the clamping part 8 is particularly suitable for scenarios where frequent fixture replacement is required on the production line, greatly improving production efficiency and flexibility. In addition, the interface design of each clamping portion 8 ensures the stability and precise alignment of the clamping, further ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection process.

[0038] Specifically, the first motion mechanism 2 is a linear guide structure, which is used to provide translational movement along a predetermined axial direction. The linear guide structure provides stable and precise movement control, which is suitable for precise position adjustment, especially when performing delicate non-destructive testing, to ensure that the clamping mechanism 5 moves smoothly along a specific direction, thereby optimizing the accuracy and repeatability of the testing process.

[0039] As a preferred example, the second motion mechanism 3 includes at least one servo motor for controlling the device to move along another axial direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first motion mechanism 2. The servo motor provides the motion mechanism with high-precision dynamic control capability, allowing the position of the clamping mechanism 5 to be accurately adjusted to meet complex or high-precision detection requirements. The servo motor has a fast response speed and precise control, which effectively improves the operating efficiency of the entire device and the reliability of detection.

[0040] The third motion mechanism 4 of the present application is a rotating table, which is used to provide a rotating motion of the clamping mechanism to meet the detection requirements of different angles. The rotating table allows the clamping mechanism 5 to be easily adjusted to any desired angle when performing injection molding inspection, especially when performing multi-angle or all-round non-destructive inspection, to ensure the comprehensiveness and depth of the inspection. The design of the rotating table also supports high-load and high-precision rotation control, which is suitable for injection moldings of various sizes and weights.

[0041] Specifically, the fixing part 7 is a fixing frame 9, which has an interface for connecting the third motion mechanism 4; the connecting part 6 includes at least one movable joint, which allows the clamping part 8 to adjust its position and angle in multiple directions; the quick-change structure includes a quick-release mechanical lock 10 and a docking seat 11, wherein the quick-release mechanical lock 10 is used to fix or release the clamping part 8, and the docking seat 11 is used to position the clamping part 8, and the clamping part 8 includes a plurality of chucks 12 of different shapes and sizes, each of which is suitable for injection molded parts of a specific shape or size, and the chuck 12 has a soft surface material to prevent damage to the injection molded parts during the clamping process. The addition of the fixing frame 9 ensures the stability and durability of the entire clamping mechanism 5, and the introduction of the movable joint increases the flexibility and adaptability of the clamping part 8. The combination of the quick-release mechanical lock 10 and the docking seat 11 not only speeds up the replacement of the chuck 12, but also ensures the precise alignment and fixation of the chuck 12 during the replacement process. The soft surface material of the clamping head 12 effectively prevents any potential damage to the injection molded part during the clamping process, which is particularly important when handling delicate or surface-sensitive high-value injection molded parts.

[0042] Specifically, the chuck 12 of the present application is connected to the third motion mechanism 4 through a quick-change mechanism to achieve quick replacement. The quick-change mechanism adopts an efficient interface design, allowing the operator to quickly and easily replace the chuck 12 to adapt to different testing needs. This mechanism not only improves the convenience of operation, but also reduces the downtime of the machine and improves production and testing efficiency. The quick-change mechanism usually includes mechanical coordination and electronic identification functions to ensure that the newly installed chuck 12 can be automatically recognized by the system and adjusted accordingly.

[0043] Specifically, the present application also includes a detection unit, and the detection unit is selected from at least one of the following non-destructive testing technologies: ultrasonic testing, X-ray testing, magnetic particle testing, or penetration testing. By designing the detection unit into a multi-technical configuration, the device can cope with various complex detection needs. Each technology is suitable for detecting different types of defects. Ultrasonic testing is suitable for discovering internal defects, X-ray testing can analyze the internal structure through perspective, magnetic particle testing is suitable for detecting surface cracks, and penetration testing is used to discover tiny surface defects. Only by integrating multiple tests can the comprehensiveness and reliability of the detection be greatly improved.

[0044] Specifically, the detection unit includes an integrated control system for automatically adjusting the positions of the first, second and third motion mechanisms 4 so as to automatically adjust the detection configuration according to the size and shape of the injection molded part. The detection unit is configured with an output device connected to a computer system for real-time display of detection results and data analysis. The integrated control system uses advanced algorithms and sensor feedback to accurately control the position adjustment of the motion mechanism. The automated adjustment not only ensures the efficiency and accuracy of the detection process, but also enables the equipment to adapt to injection molded parts of various shapes and sizes, thereby ensuring the accuracy and adaptability of the detection. The output device can display the detection data and analysis results in real time, providing instant feedback and data support for the operator. This real-time display function not only improves the efficiency of the detection, but also makes data processing and result interpretation faster and more accurate, thereby supporting quality control and production decisions.

[0045] Specifically, the quick release lock is equipped with an operating rod 13, and the operation of the operating rod 13 realizes the locking and releasing of the clamping part 8. The design of the quick release mechanical lock 10 adopts the operating rod 13 mechanism, allowing the user to realize the quick locking and releasing of the clamping part 8 through simple operation.
