DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for quickly measuring and determining the size of cast iron products, including a detection frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 for conveying cast iron products, the conveyor belt 2 is arranged to pass through the detection frame 1, one end of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with a material cart 6 for storing the cast iron products to be detected, and the other end of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with a finished product box 7, the interior of the detection frame 1 is provided with a detection component 4, a robot 5 and a PLC controller, the detection component 4 includes a mounting frame 401, the mounting frame 401 is fixedly installed on the inner top of the detection frame 1, a laser scanning sensor 403 for measuring the size of the cast iron product is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the mounting frame 401, and a material proximity sensor 40 is fixedly installed at the other end of the mounting frame 401. 2. The material proximity sensor 402 and the laser scanning sensor 403 are electrically connected to the signal input end of the PLC. The robot 5 and the conveyor belt 2 are both controlled by the PLC controller. A display screen 101 is fixedly embedded on one side of the above-mentioned detection frame 1. The display screen 101 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. In order to enable the cast iron products to be transported to the robot 5 in an orderly manner, a guide rod 3 for guiding the cast iron products is provided on the conveyor belt 2. In order to facilitate the removal of defective products in the defective product box 9, the defective product box 9 can be pulled out and installed on the detection frame 1. The guide rod 3 is fixedly connected to the end close to the robot 5 with a material baffle plate 303. The set material baffle plate 303 can block the cast iron products to be detected at a position where the robot 5 can operate.

[0028] During use, an operator removes a cast iron product from material cart 6 onto conveyor belt 2 and places it along guide rod 3. Conveyor belt 2 drives the cast iron product. Once material proximity sensor 402 detects the product, the PLC controller stops conveyor belt 2. Robot 5 activates its gripper to grasp the product, moves it to the designated position, and triggers laser scanning sensor 403 to scan and capture the image. The data is then transmitted to the PLC controller. Based on the angle and return time after the laser strikes the product, the image is analyzed and the actual dimensions of the desired measurement area within the program tool are calculated, along with NG and OK signals. Products with acceptable dimensions are then transferred to the next process step by the robot, and the measurement data is transmitted to display screen 101. Unacceptable products are placed in defective bin 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, an adjustment component for adjusting the position of the baffle plate 303 is installed on the support frame of the conveyor belt 2. The adjustment component includes a mounting plate 301, and the mounting plate 301 is fixedly mounted on the support frame of the conveyor belt 2. An adjustment cylinder 302 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 301. The piston rod end of the adjustment cylinder 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle plate 303. The position of the baffle plate 303 can be adjusted by the set adjustment component, so that the position where the baffle plate 303 blocks the cast iron product just falls into the position that the robot 5 can operate, which is convenient for the robot 5 to clamp the cast iron product. Cast iron products of different sizes can be inspected through this setting.

[0030] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the PLC controller adopts Siemens S7-300 series PLC controller, the material proximity sensor 402 can adopt Omron E3Z-T61 model photoelectric sensor, and the laser scanning sensor 403 can adopt SZ-VB11 model laser scanning sensor.
