[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is: during operation, first, the robot places a workpiece with groove processing on the V-shaped support groove of the transmission shaft bracket 12 on one side, and when the other workpiece with groove processing is placed on the transmission shaft bracket 12 on the other side, then, the air pressure pushes the piston rod 141 to generate thrust, and the piston rod 141 in front of the push cylinder 14 extends forward, pushing the push block 13 at the front end of the device to move forward, and the front push block 13 contacts the right end of the workpiece, pushing the workpiece until the left end of the workpiece is pushed to the positioning seat 11, and the positioning sensing component 111 detects whether the left end of the workpiece reaches the specified position. When the workpiece reaches the specified position, a signal is transmitted to the device to perform the next action. At this time, the piston rod 141 of the push cylinder 14 moves backward, driving the push block 13 to move backward and return to the original position, and the device's ejection action is completed. Otherwise, an alarm will be sounded, and the production manager will debug and cancel the alarm. Furthermore, before the groove detection, the sensor of the anti-reverse sensing component 15 will detect whether the workpiece placed in place is reversed. If the workpiece is placed normally, the next action will be performed. Otherwise, an alarm will be sounded, and the production manager will debug and cancel the alarm. Then, the air pressure pushes the piston to generate thrust, and the front and rear end pushes the detection head 2 at the front end of the device to move forward. If the workpiece is processed normally, the detection head 2 will extend into the groove part of the workpiece, and then transmit the signal to the equipment to perform the next action. At this time, the piston rod 141 of the push cylinder 14 moves backward, driving the detection head 2 to move backward and return to the original position, and the detection action of the device is completed. Otherwise, the workpiece will be pushed, causing the workpiece placed on the V-shaped support groove to move, and the equipment will alarm. The production manager will debug and cancel the alarm. Finally, the robot will grab the two workpieces on the transfer station at the same time and place them on the heat treatment equipment for processing.

[0042] In summary, the automatic groove detection device for the drive shaft heat treatment line of the present utility model uses the bottom plate as a transfer station between devices to ensure smooth connection between devices. It is used to install the positioning seat, drive shaft bracket, pushing block and detection head. When in use, the drive shaft to be detected is placed on the drive shaft bracket, and the pushing block is used to push the drive shaft against the positioning seat to achieve positioning. Then, the detection head is moved close to the drive shaft workpiece. If the groove of the workpiece is processed normally, the detection head extends into the groove part of the workpiece and transmits a signal to the device. The automatic groove detection device for the drive shaft heat treatment line provided by the present utility model has a simple and clear structure, a single action and a clear instruction. It not only makes up for the problem of workpiece transfer due to the processing time difference between automatic devices, but also can perform groove detection after processing, improve quality, reduce the defective rate, reduce accessory wear, and save costs at the same time.
