DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following is combined with Figure 2-4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 The workpiece appearance inspection device includes a base 1, on which are fixed two conveying modules 2, each of which is fixed with a bottom plate 3. The conveying modules 2 are capable of driving the bottom plate 3 to move horizontally along the width direction of the base 1. The conveying modules 2 are specifically electric cylinders, and in some other embodiments, they can also be rodless cylinders or other components capable of driving the bottom plate 3 to move horizontally.

[0026] Since the structure of the bottom plate 3 is the same, we will use one bottom plate 3 as an example for the following description. A fixed base 4 is fixed to one end of the bottom plate 3. A flip plate 6 is provided on one side of the fixed base 4. A rotating assembly 5 is provided on the side of the fixed base 4 away from the flip plate 6. The rotating assembly 5 passes through the fixed base 4 and is connected to the flip plate 6. The rotating assembly 5 can drive the flip plate 6 to flip.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 The rotating assembly 5 includes a rotating shaft 51 and a motor 52. The rotating shaft 51 is disposed on the side of the fixed base 4 facing the flip plate 6. The circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the flip plate 6. One end of the rotating shaft 51 extends into the fixed base 4. The motor 52 is fixed to the side of the fixed base 4 away from the flip plate 6. The output shaft of the motor 52 extends into the fixed base 4 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 51. The operation of the motor 52 drives the rotating shaft 51 to rotate, thereby driving the flip plate 6 to rotate about the axis of the rotating shaft 51, thereby achieving the flipping of the flip plate 6.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In the initial state, the flip plate 6 is horizontal. When a workpiece is placed on the flip plate 6, the first inspection surface 101 of the workpiece faces upward, facilitating inspection of the first inspection surface 101. After inspection of the first inspection surface 101 is completed, the flip plate 6 is driven by the motor 52 to flip 90° and assume a vertical state. The workpiece is also flipped 90° and assumes a vertical state. The second inspection surface 102 of the workpiece faces upward, facilitating inspection of the second inspection surface 102 of the workpiece.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A mounting frame 8 is fixed on the base 1. A translation module 9 and a lifting module 10 are provided on the side of the mounting frame 8 facing the flip plate 6. The lifting module 10 is provided at the moving end of the translation module 9. An adjustment component 7 is provided on the side of the lifting module 10 facing the flip plate 6. A detection element 11 is connected to the adjustment component 7. The translation module 9 is arranged along the length direction of the base 1, so that when the translation module 9 is driven to translate the lifting module 10 along the length direction of the base 1, the detection range of the detection element 11 completely covers the two flip plates 6. The translation module 9 and the lifting module 10 are specifically electric cylinders. In some other embodiments, they can also be rodless cylinders or other components that can achieve linear movement. The detection element 11 is a component that can detect the contour and size of the workpiece, such as a contour scanner, a CCD camera, or a 3D scanner.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Initially, the lifting module 10 is at one end of the translation module 9, and the detection element 11 is at the bottom of the lifting module 10. The translation module 9 drives the lifting module 10 toward the other end of the translation module 9, allowing the detection element 11 to inspect the workpieces on the two flip plates 6. After the workpieces are rotated 90°, the lifting module 10 drives the detection element 11 to the top of the lifting module 10. The detection element 11 is above the workpiece. While the translation module 9 drives the lifting module 10 back to its original position, the detection element 11 inspects the second inspection surface 102 of the workpiece.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The flip plate 6 is provided with mounting holes, each of which is equipped with a plurality of suction cups 12. When a workpiece is placed on the flip plate 6, the suction cups 12 attract the workpiece, keeping it in close contact with the flip plate 6. This improves the stability of the connection between the workpiece and the flip plate 6 and prevents the workpiece from falling off the flip plate 6 during the flipping process. A rib 13 is fixed to the top surface of the flip plate 6. When the workpiece is placed on the flip plate 6, the sidewalls of the workpiece abut against the sidewalls of the rib 13. The rib 13 positions the workpiece on the flip plate 6, improving the accuracy of workpiece inspection. Furthermore, the friction between the sidewalls of the workpiece and the rib 13 prevents the workpiece from falling off the flip plate 6 during flipping, thereby improving the stability of the workpiece during flipping.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 A clearance groove 14 is provided on the flip plate 6 to facilitate the removal of the workpiece from the flip plate 6 after the workpiece is inspected.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 The adjustment assembly 7 between the lifting module 10 and the detection element 11 includes a slide rail 71 and a sliding plate 72. The movable end of the lifting module 10 is fixed with a fixed plate 15. The slide rail 71 is vertically fixed to the fixed plate 15. The sliding plate 72 is mounted on the slide rail 71 and can be vertically raised and lowered along the slide rail 71. The bottom surface of the sliding plate 72 is provided with a mounting plate 16, and the detection element 11 is mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 16.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 A fixing block 18 is fixed to the top of the fixing plate 15. An adjusting screw 17 is threadedly connected to the fixing block 18. The bottom end of the adjusting screw 17 is connected to the sliding plate 72. The adjusting screw 17 can rotate independently of the sliding plate 72. Rotating the adjusting screw 17 causes the adjusting screw 17 to rotate relative to the fixing block 18. At this time, the adjusting screw 17 drives the sliding plate 72 up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the detection element 11.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 The sliding plate 72 is provided with an adjustment hole 19, which contains an adjustment screw. The adjustment screw passes through the adjustment hole 19 and is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 16. By loosening the adjustment screw, the mounting plate 16 is suspended on the sliding plate 72, blocked by the adjustment screw. Pushing or pulling the mounting plate 16 can move the mounting plate 16 closer to or further away from the lifting module 10. By tightening the adjustment screw, the mounting plate 16 is fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding plate 72, thereby positioning the detection element 11.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 A static elimination element 20 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 8 facing the conveying module 2. The static elimination element 20 can be an ion wind rod or an ion blower or other element for eliminating static electricity.

[0037] The working process of the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: first, place the workpiece on a flip plate 6, start the conveying module 2, the conveying module 2 conveys the workpiece to the bottom of the detection element 11, and the translation module 9 drives the detection element 11 to translate and detect the first detection surface 101 of the workpiece. During the workpiece conveying and subsequent detection process of the conveying module 2, the workpiece can be placed on another flip plate 6 and conveyed to the detection element 11 through the conveying module 2. The detection element 11 first detects the first detection surface 101 of the workpiece delivered first, and after the rotating component 5 completes the flipping of the workpiece, it detects the second detection surface 102. After the detection is completed, the workpiece is flipped, reset and sent out to facilitate the replacement of the workpiece, and the lifting module 10 is reset; at the same time, the detection element 11 moves to the component delivered later to detect the first detection surface 101 and the second detection surface 102, and the detection of all workpieces is cyclically performed.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
