[0028] The working principle of the driving mechanism 9 is as follows: The motor 902 is controlled and started through the control panel 8. Driven by the output shaft of the motor 902, the first rotating disk 903 rotates. During the rotation of the first rotating disk 903, the limiting post 904 rotates. The limiting post 904 slides in the chute 9052 and, under the action of the rotating shaft 907, drives the sector gear plate 9053 to rotate through the second sliding rod 9051. During the rotation of the sector gear plate 9053, the engaged rack 906 moves left and right in the horizontal direction. Under the action of the limiting ring 908, the stability of the rack 906 moving left and right in the horizontal direction is ensured. During the process of the rack 906 moving left and right in the horizontal direction, the push plate is driven to move left and right in the horizontal direction.

[0029] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned driving mechanism 13, the driving mechanism 13 includes a double-headed motor 1301 arranged on one side of the first conveyor belt 1. One end of the output shaft of the double-headed motor 1301 is provided with a cam 1302 that cooperates with the first sliding rod 12; the other end of the output shaft of the double-headed motor 1301 away from the cam 1302 is provided with a rotating shaft 1303. The other end of the rotating shaft 1303 away from the double-headed motor 1301 penetrates through the first conveyor belt 1 and is provided with a second rotating disk 1304.

A number of arc-shaped grooves 13072 that cooperate with the second rotating disk 1304 are evenly opened on the outer side of the rotating disk 13071; a U-shaped groove 13073 that cooperates with the adjusting rod 1306 is arranged between adjacent arc-shaped grooves 13072, so as to continuously and accurately control and detect the speed of the vehicle controller 6, ensure that each product is inspected one by one at the specified speed, and thus improve the detection efficiency and product quality.

[0030] The working principle of the driving mechanism 13 is as follows: The double-headed motor 1301 is controlled and started through the control panel 8. Driven by the output shafts at both ends of the double-headed motor 1301, the cam 1302 and the rotating shaft 1303 are respectively driven to rotate. Under the limiting action of the support column 11, during the rotation of the cam 1302, the first sliding rod 12 moves up and down in the vertical direction. During the process of the first sliding rod 12 moving up and down in the vertical direction, the FCT detector 7 is driven to move up and down in the vertical direction;

[0031] The principle of the rotating assembly 1307 is as follows: when the adjusting rod 1306 rotates within the U-shaped groove 13073 of the rotating assembly 1307, it drives the rotating disc 13071 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating disc 13071, with the mutual cooperation between the U-shaped groove 13073 and the second rotating disc 1304, the adjusting rod 1306 enters into the next U-shaped groove 13073 and drives the first conveyor belt 1 to rotate, realizing continuous and precise speed control and detection of the vehicle controller 6.

[0032] To facilitate the understanding of the above technical solution of the present invention, the working principle or operation mode of the present invention in the actual process will be described in detail below.

[0033] In actual application, first, the operator places several vehicle controllers 6 on the first conveyor belt 1, scans the vehicle controllers 6 using the barcode scanner 5, and enters the information of the vehicle controllers 6 into the control panel 8. Subsequently, the drive mechanism 13 is controlled and started through the control panel 8. The drive mechanism 13 adjusts the position of the FCT detector 7 and sequentially detects several vehicle controllers 6. If the vehicle controller 6 is qualified, it is conveyed forward along with the first conveyor belt 1, and the collection of qualified vehicle controllers 6 is completed. If the vehicle controller 6 is unqualified, the push mechanism 9 is controlled and started through the control panel 8 to push the unqualified vehicle controller 6 onto the second conveyor belt 2, and then it moves to the third conveyor belt 3 along with the second conveyor belt 2, completing the screening of defective products.

[0034] The working principles of the push mechanism 9 and the drive mechanism 13 are as shown above.

[0035] In summary, by means of the above technical solution of the present invention, with the combined action of the barcode scanner 5, the FCT detector 7, the push mechanism 9, the push plate 10, the first sliding rod 12 and the drive mechanism 13, the present invention can continuously and precisely control the speed and detect the vehicle controller 6, ensuring that each product is inspected one by one at the specified speed, thereby improving the detection efficiency and product quality.
