Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of industrial camera visual detection, in particular to an azimuth adjustment mechanism used for industrial camera visual detection. Background Art

[0002] Industrial camera visual inspection refers to a fully automated quality inspection technology that uses certain optical elements and image acquisition equipment to obtain image information of the workpiece under specific conditions, and uses a computer to automatically process and analyze the information to assess the quality of the workpiece. Its basic principle is to digitally process and analyze the image to achieve detection and analysis of various parameters of the workpiece. In the process of industrial camera visual inspection, an azimuth adjustment mechanism is needed to adjust the position of the industrial camera to complete the visual inspection work.

[0003] After searching, an industrial camera azimuth adjustment mechanism with publication number CN215574715U is found, which specifically discloses an industrial camera azimuth adjustment mechanism, including a base, an electric push rod is installed on the top of the base, a top plate is installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod, a rotatable base plate is installed on the top plate, two movable clamping plates are installed on the base plate, and two adjusting screws are symmetrically screwed and connected on one side of the base plate, a through through hole is opened in the middle position of the base plate, a mounting frame is installed on the side of the top of the base close to the electric push rod, and two rotatable guide rollers are installed inside the mounting frame. The utility model supports the industrial camera through the base plate, so that the lens of the industrial camera passes through the through hole, the clamping plate is pulled to make the clamping plate press against the industrial camera, and the adjusting screw is tightened to fix the industrial camera, so that when the device fixes the industrial camera, there is no need to twist a large number of fixing structures, which greatly reduces the difficulty of fixing the industrial camera and improves the fixing efficiency of the industrial camera.

[0004] During use, the existing azimuth adjustment mechanism for industrial camera visual inspection only adjusts the up and down and left and right positions of the industrial camera due to different requirements for visual inspection, which cannot meet the multi-angle visual inspection of the product. In addition, no other angle and azimuth adjustment structure is provided in the above-mentioned comparative case. Therefore, when the mechanism is used in conjunction with an industrial camera, the undetected part needs to be manually placed on the side of the product, and then a secondary visual inspection is performed through the industrial camera. This operation method is not only cumbersome, but also easily causes the visual inspection position to be missing, thereby increasing the probability of defective products.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an azimuth adjustment mechanism for industrial camera visual inspection to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The missing measurement position reduces the effect of the probability of defective products, so as to solve the problem that during the use of the azimuth adjustment mechanism of the industrial camera visual inspection in the prior art, due to the different requirements of visual inspection, the single adjustment of the up and down and left and right positions of the industrial camera cannot meet the multi-angle visual inspection of the product, and no other angle and azimuth adjustment structure is provided in the above-mentioned comparative case. In this way, when the mechanism is used with an industrial camera, the undetected part needs to be manually placed on the side of the product, and then a secondary visual inspection is performed through the industrial camera.

[0029] A fixed knob 5 is arranged outside the frame 1 and is used to adjust the height of the extension rod 6 inside the frame 1, and a top plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the extension rod 6, a longitudinal electric slide rail 8 is arranged below the top plate 7, the longitudinal electric slide rail 8 is externally movably connected with a longitudinal electric slide sleeve 9, one end of the longitudinal electric slide sleeve 9 is fixedly installed with an orientation plate 10, a transverse electric slide rail 11 is arranged below the orientation plate 10, the transverse electric slide rail 11 is externally movably connected with a transverse electric slide sleeve 12, and one end of the transverse electric slide sleeve 12 is fixedly installed with a first adjustment frame 13;

[0030] A servo motor 14 is arranged outside the first adjustment frame 13, and is used to drive the industrial camera to adjust the angle. The output end of the servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 15, and a first arc ring 16 is fixedly installed outside the connecting rod 15. A steering ball 17 is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod 15. A second adjustment frame 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first adjustment frame 13, and a driving motor 19 is arranged outside the second adjustment frame 18. The output end of the driving motor 19 is fixedly connected to a second arc ring 20;

[0031] The cross groove 21 is arranged on the outside of the steering ball 17, and is used to assist the second arc ring 20 in adjusting the angle. The cross groove 21 is movably connected with a spherical block 22 inside, and a fixing rod 23 is fixedly installed on one end of the spherical block 22. The first arc ring 16 is driven by the servo motor 14 to rotate along the X axis, and then the driving motor 19 drives the second arc ring 20 to rotate along the Y axis, so that the steering ball 17 and the spherical block 22 assist the industrial camera in completing different side orientation adjustments. In this way, when the industrial camera is used in combination for visual inspection, in addition to the up and down and left and right position adjustments, the orientation adjustment range of the industrial camera is further expanded to meet the different product visual inspection requirements.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a roller 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame 1, a support frame 3 is arranged inside the frame 1, and an electric conveyor belt 4 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 3. The roller 2 arranged at the bottom of the frame 1 can push the device directly onto the electric conveyor belt 4, so that the azimuth adjustment mechanism of the industrial camera visual inspection can cooperate with the production line to complete the visual inspection work and improve the overall inspection efficiency. The first arc ring 16 is movably connected with the second arc ring 20, and the connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected with the steering ball 17. The servo motor 14 drives the first arc ring 16 to rotate along the X axis, and then the driving motor 19 drives the second arc ring 20 to rotate along the Y axis to complete the side angle adjustment of the industrial camera. The fixing rod 23 is movably connected with the steering ball 17, and the cross groove 21 is used in conjunction with the spherical block 22. The spherical block 22 in the steering ball 17 can assist the second arc ring 20 to rotate along the Y axis so that the industrial camera can smoothly adjust the side angle.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a mounting plate 24 is fixedly mounted on one end of the fixing rod 23, a sliding groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 24, and a sliding block 26 is movably connected inside the sliding groove 25. The spacing between the clamping plates 27 on both sides can be adjusted according to the size of the industrial camera currently required to be installed through the sliding groove 25 and the sliding block 26, so that industrial cameras of different sizes can be fixedly installed in cooperation with the interference screw 28, thereby expanding the overall scope of use. A clamping plate 27 is fixedly mounted on one end of the sliding block 26, and an interference screw 28 penetrates the outside of the clamping plate 27. The interference screw 28 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. If a fault occurs, it is also convenient for maintenance personnel to replace it in time.

[0034] Working principle of the utility model: firstly, the external power supply is turned on, and the device is directly pushed onto the electric conveyor belt 4 through the roller 2 set at the bottom of the frame 1, so that the azimuth adjustment mechanism of the industrial camera visual inspection cooperates with the production line to complete the visual inspection work, and then the fixing knob 5 is twisted to adjust the height of the extension rod 6 and the frame 1, so that the top plate 7 is at a suitable height for visual inspection, and then the distance between the clamping plates 27 on both sides can be adjusted through the sliding groove 25 and the sliding block 26 according to the size of the industrial camera currently to be installed, so as to cooperate with the interference screw 28 to fix and install industrial cameras of different sizes, thereby expanding the overall use. Range, after the preparation work is completed, the electric conveyor belt 4 can be started to let the electric conveyor belt 4 drive the product to the industrial camera for visual inspection. First, turn on the switches of the longitudinal electric slide rail 8 and the transverse electric slide rail 11, and drive the industrial camera to complete the left and right position adjustment through the longitudinal electric slide rail 8 and the transverse electric slide rail 11. First, detect the position on the product surface that is easy to visually detect. Then, after the detection is completed, the switch of the servo motor 14 can be turned on. The servo motor 14 drives the steering ball 17 to adjust the angle through the connecting rod 15 under the first adjustment frame 13, and then the position is adjusted by the connecting rod 15 and the steering ball 17. The first arc ring 16 drives the fixing rod 23 and the second arc ring 20 outside the fixing rod 23 to adjust the X-axis direction, and then turns on the switch of the driving motor 19, and the driving motor 19 drives the second arc ring 20 to rotate. Since the fixing rod 23 passes through the inside of the second arc ring 20, when the second arc ring 20 rotates, the spherical block 22 inside the steering ball 17 also rotates synchronously in the Y-axis direction of the cross groove 21, thereby completing the Y-axis azimuth angle adjustment of the industrial camera below. In this way, in addition to the up and down and left and right position adjustments when the industrial camera performs visual inspection, the azimuth adjustment range of the industrial camera is further expanded. The range meets the different needs of visual inspection of products. After the visual inspection of the current product is completed, the electric conveyor belt 4 can drive the next product to the industrial camera to continue the visual inspection. Finally, after completing the installation and use of the azimuth adjustment mechanism for all industrial camera visual inspections according to the above operations, turn off the switch of the electric conveyor belt 4, turn off the switches of the longitudinal electric slide rail 8 and the transverse electric slide rail 11, turn off the switch of the servo motor 14, turn off the switch of the drive motor 19, and cut off the external power supply if it is not used for a long time. In this way, the use process of the azimuth adjustment mechanism for industrial camera visual inspection is completed.

[0035] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
