[0068] In this embodiment, the detection carrier 2616 is provided with a pitch-changing guide wheel 2618, and the pitch-changing connecting frame 2615 is provided with a pitch-changing guide groove 2619; when changing the pitch, the pitch-changing guide wheel 2618 slides in the pitch-changing guide groove 2619; the pitch-changing connecting frame 2618 is an inclined connecting rod, and an inclined pitch-changing guide groove 2619 is opened on the connecting rod, and the pitch-changing guide wheel 2618 of the detection carrier 2616 is arranged in the pitch-changing guide groove 2619. During the traction process, the longitudinal movement of the pitch-changing slide 2614 is changed into a lateral translation of the detection carrier 2616 by the pitch-changing guide groove 2619 and the pitch-changing guide wheel 2618; thereby realizing the opening and closing pitch change of both sides of the detection carrier 2616; to cope with products with different needs, it is only necessary to replace the detection carrier 2616 to achieve the adaptation and coverage of various product size types.
[0069] In this embodiment, the detection displacement module 262 and the detection lifting module 2634 are both linear modules; the visual camera 2633 is a visual image detector; the rotating mechanism 2611 is a rotating motor or a rotating cylinder, and the variable pitch cylinder 2613 is a double-headed cylinder.
