[0002] With the increasing requirements for flexible production in the automation industry, industrial machine vision products will gradually become more intelligent. The 3D vision technology is applied to more intelligent hardware products. At present, the three-dimensional dimensional measurement of products is mainly the structure of a coordinate measuring machine plus a two-degree-of-freedom rotating laser measuring head structure or a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm carrying a laser scanning head structure. The six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm carrying a laser scanning head structure can measure using the positioning points on the measured object. Especially when measuring large-sized measured objects, multiple laser scanning heads need to be carried to complete the measurement. However, the existing laser scanning heads are mainly connected to the robotic arm through bolts. When it is necessary to repair or replace the laser scanning head, due to the threaded connection between the laser scanning head and the robotic arm, each laser scanning head needs to be unscrewed one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Detailed implementation manner

[0018] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manner, structure, features and their effects of the present invention as follows.

[0019] Embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-4 , a three-dimensional dimension measuring device, comprising a six-axis robotic arm 1 and a laser scanning mechanism 2. The end of the six-axis robotic arm 1 is connected to the laser scanning mechanism 2. The laser scanning mechanism 2 includes a mounting bracket 3 and a plurality of laser scanning assemblies 4 mounted on the mounting bracket 3. The laser scanning assembly 4 includes a base 5, a limiting cylinder 6 and a laser scanning head 7. The base 5 is connected to the mounting bracket 3. The limiting cylinder 6 is mounted on the base 5. The mounting seat 8 of the laser scanning head 7 is mounted in the limiting cylinder 6, and a bump 9 is mounted on the mounting seat 8; L-shaped grooves 10 are provided on both sides inside the limiting cylinder 6. The port of the vertical portion of the L-shaped groove 10 is located at the top of the limiting cylinder 6, and the horizontal portion of the L-shaped groove 10 is located in the middle and lower part of the limiting cylinder 6. The L-shaped groove 10 cooperates with the bump 9, and the bump 9 can slide in the L-shaped groove 10; Further, an annular groove is provided inside the limiting cylinder 6 and above the horizontal portion of the L-shaped groove 10. A fixing block is mounted on the mounting seat 8 above the bump 9. The annular groove cooperates with the fixing block. The bump 9 is snapped into the end of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped groove 10 for preliminary fixation, and at the same time, the fixing block is snapped into the annular groove for further fixation. A first spring 11 is also provided inside the limiting cylinder 6. One end of the first spring 11 abuts against the mounting seat 8, and the other end abuts against the base 5. When installing the laser scanning head 7, the bump 9 on the mounting seat 8 of the laser scanning head 7 is snapped into the L-shaped groove 10 on the limiting cylinder 6 and slides downward until it is snapped into the end of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped groove 10. At the same time, the first spring 11 is abutted by the mounting seat 8 of the laser scanning head 7 and is in a compressed state. After the bump 9 is snapped into the end of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped groove 10, due to the elastic potential energy of the first spring 11, the bump 9 can be fixed, and at the same time, the laser scanning head 7 is fixed; When it is necessary to repair or replace the laser scanning head 7, press the laser scanning head 7 so that the bump 9 can slide in the L-shaped groove 10, and directly slide the bump 9 out of the L-shaped groove 10. The disassembly and installation are simple, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0020] A through hole 12 is provided in the limiting cylinder 6 and at the position of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. A limiting assembly is installed in the through hole 12. The limiting assembly includes a limiting block 13 and an elastic member 14. The limiting block 13 is located on the L-shaped groove 10 and can pass through the through hole 12. The cross section of the limiting block 13 is a right-angled trapezoid. The right-angled side of the limiting block 13 faces the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10, and the hypotenuse of the limiting block 13 faces away from the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. When the protrusion 9 moves toward the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10, the hypotenuse of the limiting block 13 helps the protrusion 9 to get stuck into the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. During the action between the projection 9 and the stopper 13, the elastic member 14 is deformed, and the stopper 13 moves toward the through hole 12 until the projection 9 is stuck into the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. Then the stopper 13 loses the power of the projection 9, and the elastic member 14 resumes to move with the stopper 13 toward the L-shaped groove 10 until it reaches the L-shaped groove 10. At this time, the right angle side of the stopper 13 faces the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. If there is no external force, the projection 9 cannot be separated from the L-shaped groove 10, which further limits the position of the projection 9 and ensures that the laser scanning head 7 will not loosen during operation. The elastic member 14 is located in the through hole 12 and connected to the stopper 13. The elastic member 14 includes a second spring 15, a movable column 16, a first fixed plate 17 and a second fixed plate 18. The first fixed plate 17 is connected to the limit block 13, and the second fixed plate 18 is installed in the limit cylinder 6. One end of the movable column 16 is connected to the first fixed plate 17, and the other end of the movable column 16 passes through the second fixed plate 18 and is connected to a movable plate 19. A pull ring is provided on the movable plate 19. One end of the second spring 15 abuts against the first fixed plate 17, and the other end of the second spring 15 abuts against the second fixed plate 18. When the protrusion 9 acts on the limit block 13, the second spring 15 is in a compressed state, and the limit block 13 moves toward the through hole 12; when the protrusion 9 is stuck in the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10, the limit block 13 loses the power of the protrusion 9, and the second spring 15 recovers and moves the limit block 13 toward the L-shaped groove 10 until it reaches the L-shaped groove 10; when the laser scanning head 7 needs to be repaired or replaced, the pull ring is pulled by hand to drive the movable plate 19, the movable column 16, the first fixed plate 17 and the limit block 13 to move in turn, and the second spring 15 is compressed until the limit block 13 moves into the through hole 12, and then the protrusion 9 slides out of the L-shaped groove 10, completing the disassembly of the laser scanning head 7.

[0021] Working principle of this embodiment: When installing the laser scanning head 7, the bump 9 on the mounting base 8 of the laser scanning head 7 is snapped into the L-shaped groove 10 on the limiting cylinder 6 and slides downward until it is snapped into the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. At the same time, the first spring 11 is abutted by the mounting base 8 of the laser scanning head 7 and is in a compressed state; during the interaction between the bump 9 and the limiting block 13, the second spring 15 is in a compressed state, and the limiting block 13 moves towards the through hole 12 until the bump 9 is snapped into the end of the horizontal part of the L-shaped groove 10. Then, the limiting block 13 loses the driving force of the bump 9, and the second spring 15 returns to its original state, driving the limiting block 13 to move towards the L-shaped groove 10 until it abuts against the L-shaped groove 10; when it is necessary to repair or replace the laser scanning head 7, pull the pull ring by hand, which drives the movable plate 19, the movable column 16, the first fixing plate 17 and the limiting block 13 to move in sequence. The second spring 15 is compressed until the limiting block 13 moves into the through hole 12, and then the bump 9 slides out of the L-shaped groove 10, thus completing the disassembly of the laser scanning head 7.
