[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is apparent that the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all of them. All other technical solutions derived by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0048] The automatic detection device and continuous detection processing system provided in each embodiment of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Before machining a workpiece, it needs to be inspected to determine whether it meets the machining requirements. However, in existing technologies, this inspection process mainly relies on manual judgment, which is not only inefficient but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in inconsistent judgment results.

[0050] Based on the various problems in the above-mentioned prior art, each embodiment of the present application provides an automatic detection device and a continuous detection processing system to at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0051] The solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Embodiment 1 provides an automatic detection device. The automatic detection device of this embodiment includes a detection execution mechanism 10 and a detection control mechanism 30 connected to the detection execution mechanism 10. Figure 1 As shown, the inspection actuator 10 is movably disposed above the workbench 20. The inspection actuator 10 can move based on the motion instructions of the motion control unit 40 to switch between the waiting position 91 and the inspection area 92, and move within the inspection area 92 to perform multi-point inspection on the workpiece and send the inspection data to the inspection control mechanism 30. The inspection control mechanism 30 is used to receive the inspection data and output corresponding process instructions based on the inspection data. The process instructions include a first process instruction for indicating that the inspection is qualified and a second process instruction for indicating that the inspection is unqualified.

[0054] By placing the workpiece to be inspected on the workbench 20 of the processing equipment, and then using the inspection device of the present application to automatically inspect the workpiece and output a first process instruction for indicating that the inspection is qualified and a second process instruction for indicating and inspecting unqualified according to the inspection data, on the one hand, the workpiece can be directly processed when the inspection is qualified, avoiding the workpiece from being transferred to the processing equipment, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency; on the other hand, the present application can automatically inspect the workpiece and output corresponding process instructions according to the inspection data, solving the technical problem of low efficiency in manually judging whether the inspection data is qualified in the prior art.

[0055] The inspection actuator of this application is located above the workbench 20, maximizing vertical space utilization and avoiding floor space occupation, thereby effectively improving the overall utilization rate of the production environment. Furthermore, this top-up layout allows the inspection actuator 10 to more easily approach and inspect the workpiece, thereby facilitating more accurate and efficient inspection operations.

[0056] In some embodiments, the waiting position 91 is a preset fixed position.

[0057] The waiting position 91 is a pre-set, fixed spatial position, which is located above the workbench 20 and maintains a certain safe distance from the material transfer path to avoid interfering with the material transfer process. Figure 1 As shown, before the workpiece to be inspected is placed on the workbench 20 , the inspection actuator 10 stops at the waiting position 91 to ensure that the inspection actuator 10 does not hinder the path of the workpiece being transferred from the material warehouse, conveyor belt or other transmission equipment to the workbench 20 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the first process instruction is used to instruct a processing device to process a workpiece.

[0059] Exemplarily, the detection control mechanism 30 outputs the first process instruction to the numerical control machining system of the machining equipment, so that the numerical control machining system enters a machining state based on the instruction.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second process instruction is used to instruct the detection actuator 10 to move to the waiting position 91 and to instruct the material transfer device to move the workpiece out of the workbench 20 .

[0061] Exemplarily, the inspection control mechanism 30 outputs the second process instruction to the motion control unit 40 and the material transfer device, and the motion control unit 40 returns from the current position to the waiting position 91 based on the instruction to make necessary space for the transfer of the next unqualified workpiece; and the material transfer device transfers the workpiece from the workbench 20 to the unqualified material storage position, conveyor belt or other transmission equipment based on the instruction to make room for the next inspection and processing of the workpiece, thereby realizing uninterrupted continuous inspection and processing.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second process instruction successfully achieves efficient processing of unqualified workpieces and timely clearing of the workbench 20, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the production line and reducing resource waste caused by workpiece accumulation or equipment waiting. In this embodiment, the production line can continuously receive new workpieces, perform inspection and processing, process unqualified products, and output qualified products, thereby achieving efficient, stable, and sustainable production process operation.

[0063] In some embodiments, the detection control mechanism 30 is configured to be connected to the storage unit 50 of the host computer, such as Figure 2 As shown, the detection data can be output to the storage unit 50 of the host computer. In this embodiment, the detection data can be automatically saved in the host computer to facilitate data analysis by the user, thereby greatly simplifying the data recording process and making the data easier to manage and analyze.

[0064] In some embodiments, the detection control mechanism 30 includes a communication module 31 and a detection module 32. Figure 3 As shown, the communication module 31 is connected to the detection execution mechanism 10 , and the detection module 32 is connected to the communication module 31 . The detection module 32 can receive the detection data through the communication module 31 and output process instructions through the communication module 31 .

[0065] In some embodiments, the detection control mechanism 30 is connected to the human-computer interaction interface 60, such as Figure 2 As shown, the detection data and / or measurement results are output to the human-machine interaction interface 60 , and the detection parameters input by the user via the human-machine interaction interface 60 are received.

[0066] Exemplarily, the measurement control mechanism further includes an interaction module 33 and a storage module 34. Figure 4As shown, the interaction module 33 is connected to the communication module 31 and the detection module 32. The communication module 31 is connected to the human-computer interaction interface 60. The interaction module 33 is configured to receive detection data and / or measurement results sent by the detection module 32 and output them to the human-computer interaction interface 60 via the communication module 31; and to receive detection parameters input by a user via the human-computer interaction interface 60 via the communication module 31. A storage module 34 is connected to the interaction module 33 and is configured to store the detection parameters.

[0067] In some embodiments, the detection control mechanism 30 is configured to be connected to the motion control unit 40, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the detection control mechanism 30 is used to send the position information of the measuring point to the motion control unit 40, wherein the position information of the measuring point is obtained based on the detection parameters, and the motion control unit 40 can obtain the position coordinates of each measuring point based on the position information of the measuring point to control the motion component to move to the coordinates.

[0068] In some embodiments, the detection execution includes a motion component 11 and a detection component 12, and the detection component 12 is fixedly connected to the motion component 11, wherein the motion component 11 is connected to the motion control unit 40, and the detection component 12 is connected to the detection control mechanism 30. Figure 2 shown.

[0069] For example, the motion component 11 can be a processing execution terminal of a processing device, such as the spindle of a CNC machine tool. In this embodiment, by integrating the detection component 12 into the processing execution terminal of the processing device, the motion mechanism of the existing processing device can be directly utilized, eliminating the need to separately design, purchase, and install a dedicated motion component, significantly reducing equipment costs.

[0070] In some implementations, the motion control unit 40 is configured in a host computer.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] Example 2 is a continuous inspection and processing system, comprising an automatic inspection device, processing equipment, a material transfer device, and a processing control system. It should be noted that since the automatic inspection device of this embodiment corresponds to the device of Example 1, all technical details in Example 1 also apply to the automatic inspection device of this embodiment. To save space, some content that is identical to Example 1 has been omitted.

[0073] In one embodiment, the process control system includes a human-machine interface 60 . Figure 5The schematic diagram of the human-computer interaction interface 60 for displaying the detection process in real time is shown as an example. During the detection process, the human-computer interaction interface 60 receives and displays the detection data and detection results in real time. Figure 6 As shown, the human-computer interaction interface 60 includes a detection data display area 71, a detection result display area 72 and an image display area 73, wherein the image display area 73 is used to display a schematic diagram of the workpiece marked with the detection point position, so that the specific position of each detection point on the workpiece can be intuitively displayed.

[0074] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a human-machine interaction interface 60 for measuring the flatness of a circular workpiece is shown as an example, wherein the flatness of the circular workpiece is obtained by multi-point measurement. Figure 6 As shown, the detection data display area 71 displays the detailed correspondence between the detection points and the corresponding detection data in real time in a tabular form, so that the operator can quickly understand the specific situation of each detection point. The table usually contains the detection point number 81 (or position identifier), the measurement value 82 (such as height, distance, etc.), and may also include the deviation from the standard value, etc. The last row summarizes the flatness index 83 calculated based on all the detection data, such as the flatness error value obtained based on the current detection data. The detection result display area 72 is used to provide instant feedback on whether the detection result meets the preset quality standards or requirements. For example, if the detection result is within the allowable range, "pass" or similar words are displayed, indicating that the workpiece is qualified; if it exceeds the allowable range, "fail" or a corresponding warning message is displayed, indicating that the workpiece needs further inspection or processing. The image display area 73 intuitively displays the specific position of each detection point on the workpiece and the corresponding detection data through a graphical interface, which enhances the intuitiveness and comprehensibility of the detection results. As shown Figure 6 As shown, the positions of all detection points are marked on the contour map of the workpiece, and are accompanied by numerical annotations, which directly display the specific measurement value 82 or deviation of each detection point.
