DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 6 The principles and features of the present invention are described, and the examples given are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0023] In the following description, the “direction of advancement” can refer to the attached Figure 1 The X direction in .
[0024] A device for automatically identifying brake disc models, such as Figure 1 — Figure 3As shown, it includes a conveyor belt 1 running at a constant speed and a brake disc 2 moving with the conveyor belt 1, and the brake disc 2 is irregularly arranged on the conveyor belt 1. In the forward direction of the conveyor belt 1, a camera assembly 3 and a rangefinder assembly 4 are sequentially arranged at intervals.
[0025] The camera assembly 3 includes a support frame 9 and a camera support 10 . The support frame 9 is placed on the ground across the conveyor belt 1 . The 3D camera 5 is connected to the top crossbeam 28 of the support frame 9 through the camera support 10 and faces the conveyor belt 1 .
[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the camera support 10 includes an arc plate 11 and an adapter plate 12. The arc plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top cross beam 28.

The adapter plate 12 is also provided with a second through hole 17 corresponding to the two groups of first arc holes 14, and the two are connected by a second bolt 18. When it is necessary to adjust the scanning range of the 3D camera 5 relative to the length direction of the conveyor belt 1, firstly, the first bolt 16 and the second bolt 18 are loosened, the adapter plate 12 rotates around the first bolt 16, and the second bolt 18 is displaced along the arc track of the first arc hole 14 until the position of the 3D camera 5 is adjusted to meet the scanning range requirements in the length direction, and then the first bolt 16 and the second bolt 18 are tightened.
[0027] Furthermore, the camera support 10 is further provided with a mounting plate 19 for connecting the 3D camera 5, and the mounting plate 19 is provided with a group of first side plates 22 on both sides in the width direction, and the first side plates 22 are provided with a first side through hole 20 and a second side through hole 21, and the adapter plate 12 is provided with a second side plate 23 on both sides, and the second side plate 23 is provided with a first connecting hole 24 and a second connecting hole 27, and the first connecting hole 24 and the first side through hole 20, and the second connecting hole 27 and the second side through hole 21 are connected by a third bolt 25 and a fourth bolt 26 respectively. In order to further adjust the scanning range of the 3D camera 5 in the width direction, the first connecting hole 24 is connected to the first side through hole 20, and the second connecting hole 27 is connected to the second side through hole 21. The shape of any of the connection holes 24, the second connection holes 27, the first side through holes 20 and the second side through holes 21 is set to be an elongated arc. In this embodiment, the first connection hole 24 is an elongated arc hole. When the scanning range in the width direction of the 3D camera 5 needs to be adjusted, the third bolt 25 and the fourth bolt 26 are firstly loosened, and the mounting plate 19 is rotated with the fourth bolt 26 as the central axis, and the third bolt 25 is displaced along the elongated arc hole track of the first connection hole 24 until the scanning range in the width direction of the 3D camera 5 meets the requirements, and then the third bolt 25 and the fourth bolt 26 are tightened. In the second embodiment, the shape of the first side through hole 20 is set to be an elongated arc, and the mounting plate 19 is rotated with the fourth bolt 26 as the central axis, and the third bolt 25 is displaced along the elongated arc hole track of the first side through hole 20, and the scanning range in the width direction of the 3D camera 5 can also be adjusted. In the third embodiment, the second connection hole 27 is set as an elongated arc hole, and the mounting plate 19 is rotated with the third bolt 25 as the central axis, and the fourth bolt 26 is displaced along the elongated arc hole track of the second connection hole 27, and the scanning range adjustment of the 3D camera 5 in the width direction can also be achieved. In the fourth embodiment, the second side through hole 21 is set as an elongated arc hole, and the mounting plate 19 is rotated with the third bolt 25 as the central axis, and the fourth bolt 26 is displaced along the elongated arc hole track of the second side through hole 21, and the scanning range adjustment of the 3D camera 5 in the width direction can also be achieved.
[0028] The rangefinder assembly 4 includes a rangefinder bracket 8 and an electric slide 7 for installing a laser rangefinder 6. The rangefinder bracket 8 is fixed on the ground across the conveyor belt 1. The electric slide 7 is fixed to the upper part of the rangefinder bracket 8 and is located above the conveyor belt 1. Two groups of laser rangefinders 6 are installed on the electric slide 7. The two groups of laser rangefinders 6 move synchronously. The center distance between the probes of the laser rangefinder 6 is a fixed value c. In this embodiment, the center distance between the two groups of laser rangefinders 6 is 70 mm.
[0029] When the device is working, the brake disc 2 follows the conveyor belt 1 and moves forward at a constant speed. When it passes under the position of the 3D camera 5, the 3D camera 5 automatically scans and finds the center position coordinates of the brake disc 2 and transmits them to the computer. The computer calculates the position where the electric slide 7 needs to move based on the coordinates and transmits them to the electric slide 7. The electric slide 7 starts, the laser rangefinder 6 moves into place, and the center position of the brake disc 2 passes through the center point of the line connecting the two sets of laser rangefinder 6 probes. Figure 6 As shown, the center distance between the laser rangefinder 6 probes is a fixed value c, and the detection tracks of the two groups of laser rangefinders 6 are laser rangefinder detection tracks 29. Taking the inner hole diameter of the brake disc 2 as an example, the attached Figure 6 The distance a and distance b in the figure can be obtained by taking multiple values of the laser rangefinder in quick succession and combining them with the moving speed of the brake disc. Therefore, the inner hole radius r of the brake disc 2 can be obtained according to the following calculation formula, thereby obtaining the inner hole diameter of the brake disc 2. The calculation formula is:
[0030]
[0031] Among them, x and y are the distance values from the center of the brake disc 2 to the laser rangefinder detection track 29; a and b are the displacement distances of the two groups of laser rangefinders 6 in the inner hole of the brake disc 2; c is the center distance between the two groups of laser rangefinders 6 probes, which is a fixed value of 70mm; r is the radius of the inner hole of the brake disc 2.
[0032] Similarly, the outer diameter, middle diameter, thickness and total height of the brake disc 2 can also be calculated. By comparing with the database, the specific model of the brake disc can be determined and intelligent sorting and classification can be performed. The specific calculation method of the outer diameter, middle diameter, thickness and total height is technical knowledge familiar to technical personnel in this field and will not be repeated here.
[0033] Through the functions of the camera component 3 and the rangefinder component 4, the device is no longer limited in calculating the size of the brake disc 2 relative to the position of the brake disc 2 relative to the conveyor belt 1. The usage scenarios are more flexible, the detection size accuracy is higher, and the intelligent sorting of the brake disc 2 is realized.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
