Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass tube production, in particular to a protective shell for glass tube end face detection equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the production of pharmaceutical glass tubes, each end undergoes processing steps such as precision cutting to create a rounded end or punching and sealing. The finished tubes are then transported by a conveyor to an end-face inspection device, which inspects the tubes for defects. The inspection device uses a camera to capture the rounded end and side surfaces of the tubes, identifying defects using grayscale. To protect the cameras, the end-face inspection device requires a protective housing. Each camera lens is fitted with a clear, transparent, ultra-clear glass sheet to ensure a clear image. Traditional end-face inspection device housings are secured with screws. If the glass sheet is scratched by a defective tube, the inspection results will be significantly affected. In this case, the housing must be removed and replaced with a new glass sheet. This replacement process is cumbersome and typically requires at least six steps: withdrawing the inspection device from the inspection position, unscrewing the screws, removing the housing, replacing the glass, installing the housing, and returning the inspection device to its original position. Glass tube production continues on the production line, and during this time, the quality of the tubes cannot be verified to ensure their quality. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0035] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0037] The protective casing of traditional end-face inspection equipment is fixed with screws. Once the glass sheet is scratched by a defective glass tube, it will greatly interfere with the inspection effect. At this time, the casing needs to be removed and replaced with a new glass sheet. The entire replacement process is relatively cumbersome and usually requires no less than six steps, such as withdrawing the inspection equipment from the inspection position, unscrewing the screws, removing the casing, replacing the glass, installing the casing, and pushing the inspection equipment into place. The production of glass tubes on the production line cannot be stopped, and the quality of the glass tubes cannot be tested to ensure its quality during this period.

[0038] In view of this, the utility model provides a protective shell for glass tube end face detection equipment, including a main shell 100, a horizontally placed shell 200, a vertically placed shell 300 and 300 ultra-white glass pieces 400; the horizontally placed shell 200 is horizontally installed on the main shell 100, and the vertically placed shell 300 is vertically installed on the main shell 100, and ultra-white glass pieces 400 are inserted in both the horizontally placed shell 200 and the vertically placed shell 300.

[0039] The protective housing for glass tube end-face inspection equipment provided by this utility model utilizes a plug-in installation method for the ultra-clear glass sheet 400, eliminating the cumbersome assembly and disassembly associated with screw fastening, which can affect production testing. Replacing the glass sheet requires only inserting the new sheet and ejecting the old one, greatly simplifying the replacement process. Operation is quick and easy, eliminating the need to relocate the inspection equipment and fully ensuring accurate glass tube quality testing.

[0040] The following combination Figures 1-6 The structure and shape of the protective housing for the glass tube end face detection device provided in this embodiment are described in detail:

[0041] In this embodiment, the main housing 100 has a C-shaped structure, as Figure 4 shown, and the end of the glass tube extends into the opening of the C-shaped structure for detection. In this embodiment, the main housing 100 is provided with an inner cavity for placing the detection equipment.

[0042] In an alternative solution provided by this embodiment, the main housing 100 is made of stainless steel.

[0043] In this embodiment, the horizontally placed housing 200 and the vertically placed housing 300 have the same structure, as Figure 1 shown, the horizontally placed housing 200 is horizontally installed on the main housing 100, and the vertically placed housing 300 is vertically installed on the main housing 100.

[0044] Specifically, the horizontally placed housing 200 is taken as an example for illustration. The horizontally placed housing 200 has an overall square-shaped structure with a rectangular through-hole in the center, as Figure 2 shown. At the same time, a slot 210 is provided on the side of the horizontally placed housing 200, and the ultra-clear glass sheet 400 is inserted into the horizontally placed housing 200 from the slot 210 and inserted into the slot 210 to block the central opening of the square-shaped structure. Among them, the slot 210 penetrates through the horizontally placed housing 200 and intersects with the central opening of the square-shaped structure.

[0045] To avoid the situation where the glass sheet is scratched when inserting the ultra-clear glass sheet 400, the horizontally placed housing 200 is further provided with a protective layer 220. The two protective layers 220 are installed in the slot 210 and arranged on both sides of the ultra-clear glass sheet 400. The protective layer 220 can not only prevent the glass sheet from being scratched when inserted, but also increase the friction between the glass sheet and the horizontally placed housing 从插槽210插入水平放置壳体200并插装于插槽210以封堵回字形结构的中心开口。其中,插槽210贯穿水平放置壳体200并与回字形结构的中心开口交叉。

[0046] In this embodiment, the protective layer 220 can be made of materials such as sponge, polyurethane or rubber, and can be fixed by bonding.

[0047] In this embodiment, to avoid the situation where it is not easy to replace the ultra-clear glass sheet 400 when it is broken, both the horizontally placed housing 200 and the vertically placed housing 300 are detachably connected to the main housing 100, so that when the glass sheet is broken, the horizontally placed housing 200 or the vertically placed housing 300 with the ultra-clear glass sheet 400 can be directly replaced, ensuring the quick replacement of the ultra-clear glass sheet 400. At this time, at least one set of the horizontally placed housing 200 or the vertically placed housing 300 equipped with the ultra-clear glass sheet 400 needs to be reserved. When the ultra-clear glass sheet 400 is not easy to take out, the horizontally placed housing 200 or the vertically placed housing 300 is directly replaced to ensure the quick replacement of the ultra-clear glass sheet 400.

[0048] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 110 is provided on the main housing 100, and a limiting groove 230 is provided on the horizontal housing 200. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 When installing the horizontally placed housing 200 and the vertically placed housing 300, the limiting protrusion 110 is inserted into the limiting groove 230 and engaged with the limiting groove to achieve accurate positioning of the horizontally placed housing 200 and the vertically placed housing 300 and ensure the stability of the horizontally placed housing 200 and the vertically placed housing 300.

[0049] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 110 is in the shape of a square, and the limiting groove 230 is a rectangular groove. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The size of the limiting protrusion 110 is close to the outline size of the horizontally placed housing 200 and the vertically placed housing 300 to ensure stable and reliable positioning.

[0050] In this embodiment, the protective housing for the glass tube end face inspection device further includes a buckle 500 to secure the horizontal housing 200 and the vertical housing 300. Both the horizontal housing 200 and the vertical housing 300 are provided with a connecting block 240. One end of the buckle 500 is connected to the main housing 100, and the other end is engaged with the connecting block 240.

[0051] Specifically, the buckle 500 includes a connecting plate 510 and a connecting ring 520 hinged to the connecting plate 510; the connecting plate 510 is connected to the main housing 100, and the connecting ring 520 is used to be connected to the connecting block 240. Figure 5 The connecting block 240 is a J-shaped structure and is arranged on both sides of the slot 210. Figure 2 As shown, the connecting ring 520 engages with the groove of the J-shaped structure to lock the horizontal housing 200 and the vertical housing 300 to the main housing 100. The buckle 500 connection ensures a reliable connection and quick assembly and disassembly of the horizontal housing 200 and the vertical housing 300 to the main housing 100.

[0052] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the cleaning of glass fragments in the main housing 100, an opening is provided on the side of the main housing 100. Figure 4 As shown, the protective housing for the glass tube end surface detection device also includes a side door 600 and a hinge 700. One end of the hinge 700 is connected to the main housing 100, and the other end is connected to the side door 600 to realize the opening and closing of the side opening of the main housing 100. Figure 1 shown.

[0053] In this embodiment, the side door 600 is opened and closed by flipping up and down. The side door 600 can be opened at any time to check the internal camera environment. When the ultra-white glass sheet 400 is accidentally broken, the glass fragments in the main shell 100 can be opened in time to clean.

[0054] Specifically, the side door 600 includes a handle 610 and a door panel 620. The handle 610 is provided to facilitate opening and closing the side door 600. The hinge 700 is connected to the main housing 100 at one end and to the door panel 620 at the other end; the handle 610 is connected to the door panel 620 and is away from the hinge 700.

[0055] In this embodiment, the protective housing for the glass tube end face inspection device further includes a fill light, which is installed on the main housing 100 and arranged above the horizontal housing 200. That is, the fill light, the vertical housing 300 and the horizontal housing 200 are respectively located on the three inner walls of the C-shape, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0056] The working process of the protective housing for the glass tube end face detection device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0057] Two protective shells for glass tube end detection equipment are set on both sides of the conveying mechanism, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the glass tube is transported by the conveying mechanism, both ends pass under the fill light for inspection.

[0058] If the ultra-clear glass 400 is not clear enough, a new piece of glass can be directly inserted from the side and the old piece of glass can be replaced. This process does not affect the inspection process. If the ultra-clear glass 400 is broken, the buckle 500 can be opened, the horizontal shell 200 or vertical shell 300 can be removed, and a new horizontal shell 200 or vertical shell 300 containing the ultra-clear glass 400 can be inserted. The buckle 500 can then be fastened to complete the replacement. During this process, the inspection cannot be carried out while only the horizontal shell 200 or vertical shell 300 is removed, but the time is extremely short.

[0059] The protective housing for glass tube end face inspection equipment provided in this embodiment enables quick replacement of glass sheets without removing the inspection equipment, thereby improving production efficiency and increasing the yield rate of glass tube production. The glass sheet mounting structure and the assembly and disassembly structure of the horizontally mounted housing 200 and vertically mounted housing 300 allow glass sheet replacement to occur with minimal disruption to production and eliminate the need to pause the inspection equipment, thereby enhancing production efficiency and the yield rate of glass tube production.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
