[0002] The function of the external rearview mirror is to facilitate the driver's operation and expand the field of vision. The external rearview mirror is an important safety configuration, generally having two types: manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. Currently, most automobiles are equipped with electric external rearview mirrors.

[0003] Whether there is an error in the assembly of the external rearview mirror directly affects the product quality. However, the existing rearview mirror assembly lines have single structures and functions, and do not have the ability to detect and judge the assembly parts of the external rearview mirror. Moreover, the assembly positions of the external rearview mirrors are relatively scattered and have different orientations, increasing the difficulty of detection implementation. Therefore, in view of the above problems, an external rearview mirror assembly line with a misassembly detection function is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an external rearview mirror assembly line with a misassembly detection function in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] The utility model realizes the above purpose through the following technical solutions. An external rearview mirror assembly line with a misassembly detection function includes a conveyor line, a conveyor belt, an industrial robotic arm, a detection module, an L-shaped frame, a circular plate, a rotating shaft, a tooling fixture, a gear, a motor and a U-shaped frame. A conveyor belt is arranged inside the conveyor line, and circular plates are distributed on the conveyor belt. A plurality of L-shaped frames are distributed and installed at the arc-shaped conveying section of the conveyor line, and different detection modules are installed on each L-shaped frame. The tooth surface on the circular plate is in meshing transmission connection with the gear, and the gear is connected to the motor through a coupling. A tooling fixture is installed on the top of the circular plate.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of connecting seats are distributed and installed on the conveyor belt, and each connecting seat is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft located at the bottom of the circular plate.

[0007] Preferably, a U-shaped frame is installed at the corresponding part of the arc-shaped conveying section, and a conveyor is arranged directly below the arc-shaped conveying section.

[0008] Preferably, an industrial robotic arm is installed in the middle of the U-shaped frame.

[0009] Preferably, the motor is fixedly connected to the inner structural part of the arc-shaped conveying section through a connecting piece.

[0010] Preferably, the detection module is electrically connected to an external detection and processing device through a wire.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the difference lies in that by providing an arc-shaped conveying section on the conveyor line and combining a gear and a motor for driving the outer rearview mirror tooling, it has the function of rotating and reversing the outer rearview part, ensuring that each assembly part on each outer rearview mirror accurately faces each detection module, improving the detection efficiency. At the same time, an industrial robotic arm is used to grab and remove the defective outer rearview mirror onto the conveyor, which has strong practicability. Brief Description of the Drawings
