[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a ceramic product detection device proposed by the utility model includes a frame 1, a bracket 4, a driving assembly, a multi-dimensional visual detection assembly and a gripping mechanism. A feeding assembly for conveying products is arranged on the frame 1. The feeding assembly includes a transmission roller, a conveyor belt 2 and a motor A3. The transmission rollers are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1. The transmission rollers on both sides are connected by transmission through the conveyor belt 2. The motor A3 is connected to the frame 1 and drives one of the transmission rollers. An infrared positioning probe 101 for detecting the position of the product on the conveyor belt 2 is also arranged on the frame 1. A support plate for improving the straightness and stability of product conveying is arranged between the transmission rollers on both sides of the frame 1. The support plate is slidably connected to the lower surface of the upper horizontal section of the conveyor belt 2. The bracket 4 is connected to the frame 1. A fixed plate 5 suspended above the feeding assembly is arranged on the bracket 4. The fixed plate 5 is rotatably connected to the transparent disc 6. The driving assembly includes an outer gear ring 61, a motor B7 and a gear 71. A through hole is arranged on the fixed plate 5. The transparent disc 6 is located inside the through hole and is rotatably connected thereto. The outer gear ring 61 is sleeved on the outside of the transparent disc 6 and connected to its outer wall. The outer gear ring 61 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5. The gear 71 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5 and meshes with the outer gear ring 61. The motor B7 is connected to the fixed plate 5 and drives the gear 71 to rotate, so as to drive the transparent disc 6 to rotate through the gear 71 and the outer gear ring 61. The multi-dimensional visual inspection component includes a control component, a visual camera A8, a visual camera B9 and a visual camera C10. The visual cameras A8, B9 and C10 are all electrically connected to the control component. The visual camera A8 is connected to the bracket 4 and is located above the transparent disc 6, and its probe detection end faces downward. The visual camera B9 is connected to the bracket 4, and its probe detection end faces the product placement station on the transparent disc 6. The visual camera C10 is connected to the bracket 4 and is located below the transparent disc 6, and its probe detection end faces upward. The multi-dimensional visual inspection components are distributed around the top, sides and bottom of the transparent disc 6 to inspect the products on the transparent disc 6 from top to bottom, from the side and from bottom to top at the same time. There are two groups of grabbing mechanisms, and the two groups of grabbing mechanisms correspond to the loading station and unloading station of the transparent disc 6 respectively. The grabbing mechanism includes a mechanical arm 11, an air pump 12 and a suction cup 13. The mechanical arm 11 is connected to the frame 1, and the mechanical arm 11 drives the suction cup 13. The air pump 12 connects the outside world with the suction cup 13. When the grabbing mechanism is in working state, it sequentially transfers the products to be inspected from the feeding end of the feeding component to the transparent disc 6 through the suction cup 13, and transfers the products on the transparent disc 6 that have been inspected from the transparent disc 6 to the output end of the feeding component.

[0025] In this embodiment, motor A3 drives conveyor belt 2 to run, so as to convey the ceramic bowls to be inspected one by one from the feeding end of transparent disc 6 to transparent disc 6. When the ceramic bowls are conveyed to the loading station, the robotic arm on the loading station starts and moves the suction cup 13 from above the opening of the ceramic bowl downward to fit with the bottom of the ceramic bowl. The suction cup 13 is sucked firmly by the air pump 12 to firmly hold the ceramic bowl. Then the robotic arm transfers the ceramic bowl to be placed on the transparent disc 6, starts visual camera A8, visual camera B9 and visual camera C10, and starts motor B7 at the same time. Motor B7 drives transparent disc 6 to rotate, so that visual camera A8, visual camera B9 and visual camera C10 respectively perform blind angle detection on each surface of the ceramic bowl. After the detection is completed, the robotic arm on the unloading station removes the inspected ceramic bowl from transparent disc 6 through its suction cup 13 and places it on the conveyor belt 2 on the discharge side of transparent disc 6.
